The OTHER Bike Path

Yes this is about the OTHER Bike Path. The one that's suppose to be part of a network running across the North Shore. One section of it runs along the back of the units on College Crescent and has been paved in sections VERY slowly over the last decade. One section up at the top under the church car park is STILL unpaved and partly because of that I suspect the pathway is mainly used by local residents people walking dogs and a few skateboarders and maybe a few ACTUAL cyclists too? 

I went for a walk there a couple of days ago and find one narrow section is NOT clogged with weeds.  I'm not sure who is suppose to be finishing this project but this is just ridiculous. Can the whole path be paved and finished properly after someone rips up the weeds? It would take one or two days at the most to finish but apparently since its not in public view a mountain bike trail that can't be used when it rains is more important? 

Consider the humble weed

This plant is a feral pest officially but it does have lovely flowers!

This one was down near Waitara but there's another patch flowering on the path to the station near the traffic bridge.

Why not take a brief  moment to contemplate the beauty of humble things next time you're walking past them?

Look down at Your Feet!

Do you ever look down at the footpath? Obviously don't do this in rush hour but take the time if the footpath's not crowded to look at the cracks and crevisses and the contrast between the plants and pavement? sometimes you'll just see weeds. Other times maybe a moment of beauty?
