Turns out I've shown this before at some stage, but I've added a cropped 
version to show the bike a bit closer.

That little silver thing in the rear wheel is actually part of the planter box 
behind.  I don't buy into the fashion of putting stuff in my spokes :)  And the 
positioning of Jesus was not deliberate.

The photo has a bit of a story so allow me to waffle...

On September 3rd 2010 I bought a shiny new carbon road bike.  That was a Friday 
and I'd taken the Kona into work, so I had to ride one bike home and pick the 
other up on the Saturday.

The weather was a bit crappy and I thought about leaving the new bike behind so 
it wouldn't get wet.  But I was so keen to ride the new bike the next morning 
that I just HAD to ride that one home.  So I left the Kona in the locked 
under-stairs cupboard.

Sure enough, at 4:35 the following morning Sod's Law came to fruition once 
again and my plans fell apart.  The earthquake hit making a ride out of the 
question, and the CBD was shut down so I couldn't go and pick up the Kona.

It was about a week before the cordon was lifted and I was able to go and 
retrieve the bike.  I walked it straight to Cathedral Square and took this 
photo of it.

Little did I know that the Cathedral would be in ruins just a few months 
later...

Cheers,
Dave
