Getting ready to work on a problem in Rails on an Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) machine, I ran across the following problem running bundle install for Rails core:

$ bundle install

An error occured while installing RedCloth (4.2.7), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install RedCloth -v '4.2.7'` succeeds before bundling.

Those who know me know I’m a keen cyclist. Not in the lycra clad, ultra high tech, kilometre counting way, but in the cruise to the dairy, 3 speed, lazy cruiser, ride the kids to school way.

The short time I spent living in the Netherlands has made me aware of how Christchurch could be one of the worlds great cycling cities. Flat as a pancake, a favourable climate and super wide streets, all the ingredients are in place.

But biking in Christchurch is, quite frankly, hellish. It’s mostly a cultural problem. The city is built for cars, and bikes and pedestrians are very much second class citizens.

But then the earthquakes happened, and the landscape changed, both physically and in the hearts of the cities people.
