The Bloke

G’day.

Me

I’m Rob.  I am neither Australian, nor do I play the bass.  I acquired a recumbent in early July 2011, and created this blog shortly afterwards to catalogue a variety of minor adventures thereafter.

Whilst the bulk of posts are likely to be recumbent related, I may meander gently onto other topics including but not limited to:

  • Volunteer ambulance work, including why you should be nice should a St John Ambulance vehicle turn up after you’ve called 999 in the Newcastle area
  •  Eco-green-energy stuff.  Thumbs up for concentrated solar and nuclear, general scepticism for most other things and a solid prod towards the excellent book http://www.withouthotair.com/  It’s free and online as well now.  Go read it.
  • Anything which strikes me as excitingly efficient or elegantly engineered.  Your ridiculous Prius is not included here.
