Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Thanks for all the advice. I've been guilty of gear acquisition syndrome in other hobbies before, so I'm definitely going in with a budget mindset. I was also looking at "better" more expensive adventure/touring bikes, but came to my senses to keep it cheaper for now. Now with all these additional things I didn't think about, I'm happy with my decision!

I don't actually need to use it for commuting right now (could always change in future though), mainly for exercise - but I like the idea of the bike bag + repair kit/spare tubes etc.
