No place in cities.

Tall corn flowering outside the Town Hall, reading @Library_Vic in the company of others, woman dancing at the tram stop, lunch time queues, many homeless people too. Life in our city, Melbourne.

We appreciate the new pedestrian crossing (thanks Council 👍) and we'd ❤️ to have a 30 km/h zone!

@shavo27 glad you're back on the bike!

As they say, gotta get back on the 🐴! My road bike is in for repair after the collision this week. I enjoyed the trails this morning on my gravel and took some respite from sharing the road. #tivoliroadbakery
