Cycling my kid to school this morning I saw someone standing next to a busy road with an easel, painting. It was so jarring, in a way that seeing someone painting by the river isn't, even though they were painting the trees in the distance. The jacarandas are blooming here.
I wonder what it would feel like to have transport corridors that it felt natural to paint, full of beauty and people and plants? #BikeTooter
On the way back from school there was a kid, around 7 or 8, cycling on the road (a local road, with the current speed set at 50km/hr) with their parent. This is so unusual to see that I recently got told off for doing the same with my daughter, a similar age, even though it's entirely legal.
I cycled that way a little little longer than I usually would, partly out of surprise at seeing them. #BikeTooter
