It’s great to see people using bicycles to not only get around Melbourne, but as a way to say something about themselves by funking them up with their own personalised modifications.

Bicycle usage is increasing every year, so it’s awesome that people have found a way to express themselves through their bikes in the same way as other have done with their cars and motorbikes.

The great thing is that most of these bikes have been rescued from the tip, and with land fill being a major issue, it really makes you think about rescuing your own teenage bike from the back shed or one from a local garage sale and bringing it back to life.
So why not find your inner goth, flower child or Italian racing bike rider and give your old bike a facelift. Unlike a car, you may also get some exercise as an added benefit.
it.

Check out a garage sale today for a bike that with a few modifications will become an extension of you and get cruising.

With the opening of Bike Park in Melbourne, cyclists have the unique situation of having public facilities dedicated to commuters riding to work.

In the Victorian era, Melbourne had large buildings whereby commuters could leave there bike while going about there daily tasks in the city, be it shopping or going to work.
Before the advent of the car and an integrated public transport system, the bike was the primary means of transport.

Fast forward to 2009 and we are experiencing a resurgence in this forgotten form of transport. Unfortunately riding a bike to work does have it’s logistically challenges, a place to leave the bike, shower facilities and a place to leave your nice sweaty bicycle apparel.

While I was in Amsterdam, I notice a similar facility for bike storage, it was huge!!!

With Melbourne’s roads getting more congested every year and the only government solution being building more freeways and toll roads, a cheaper and more economic way of getting people into the city is by bicycle.

The grand opening of bike park at Banana Alley on Flinders Street was on exactly one week ago, for more info check out www.bikepark.com.au.

Introducing bike parking and shower facilities is a move in the right direction to reduce road congestion or maintain the current levels of car usage.

While riding down to Dromana from Melbourne, I noticed a cute dog bicycle trailer.

So if you are a dog owner and feel your four legged friend is missing out while your having fun, take your cute dog out today on a bicycle trailer, whether you around Melbourne or anywhere that is bicycle friendly.

Bradley Wiggins interview after Beach Road bunch ride.

I managed to catch up with Bradley for a few quick questions after our 2.5 hour ride from St Kilda to Frankston & back.

It’s amazing that after 29 hours and no sleep after travelling from Spain, he had the energy to be still awake, net alone go riding for 2.5 hours.
I can’t say enough praise for Wiggo for being such a sport and general nice guy, thank you again.
It’s great to see that he gives back to the sport by being supportive of other riders, especially that Bradley will earn over £2 Million for riding with Slipstream Garmin in 2010.

Well thank you Bradley Wiggins for the interview after our Beach Rd bunch ride.
