My husband will tell you l am a real ‘gadget man’ and love to try out anything l spot which l think would be useful – in terms of communicating.

Just before Christmas l came off my bike on the side road next to Sydney Gardens and rivalled Rudolph over the holiday season for having a bright red nose. I could have easily broken it!

I have acquired a small clip-on recording device which l attached to the top of my jumper. Unfortunately, the zip fastener from my overcoat was close by and madly clicking over every bump in the road above which l was cycling.

However, if you stick with me, you will get some idea of how it feels to be on two wheels in the centre of our city.
