Well a first for me - a parking ticket on the bike. I've parked in parts all over this city, including right in the city centre. Bikes will park in no-stopping, on footpaths all kinds of places. This time I parked inside a painted triangle (the spare bit at the end of a row of angle parking). I've parked in places like that all over and never had any trouble. Riders get into strife if they block driveways or other problems, but the dead space that cars can't use, no worries.

The council in this part of town obviously has other ideas. Will be calling them up Monday, see if I can sweet talk them a little.

The haircut only cost $6, the total for the day $203!!
