I heard a great analogy this morning regarding taking perceived shortcuts to achieving your goals.
You can go out and spend $15000 on a road bike (Cycling) to improve your cycling yet it won’t help you ride 150-200 kms unless you have done the training. Talking about how wonderful the bike it, how light and fast it can go will be meaningless unless you do the hard yards and actually do the training.

The bike isn’t interested in how expensive it is, you still have to push on the pedals no matter how much you have spent to make it travel great distances or go fast.

London Mayor Boris Johnson cycling on a proposed “super highways” route with Transport Minister Lord Adonis and Kulveer Ranger, his director of transport were almost killed by this freak accident.

While “Copenhagen Style Bicycle lane” would have not avoided a tragedy on this occasion it demonstrates the fine line between seerious injury and safety for the millions of bicycle commuters in major cities around the world.

Membership for the scheme will be daily, weekly of yearly, and the first half-hour of all trips will be free. Additional usage fees will apply after the first half hour.

Project benefits
The Public Bike Hire Scheme will provide a travel option that is faster than walking and more flexible than public transport, and encourage bike a healthy, green transport option.
It will also help relieve pressure on transport systems in the inner-city.

With bunch riding increasing, a reported 10000 cyclists riding down Melbourne’s famous Beach Road from St Kilda to Mordialloc, Bunch riding etiquette is no different to catching waves in the surf, it’s all about mutual respect and understanding.

1.If you want to join a passing bunch – do so at the back (not in the front or middle).
2.If you want to join a passing bunch’s rolling turns – ask first before just pushing in.
3.If you want to clear your nose – pull out to the side and signal your intention.
4.If you can’t hold the wheel in front, don’t just drop off and leave a gap, wave the guys around you through.
5.If you haven’t got the strength to ride at the front of a fast bunch, don’t use the red traffic light as your chance to push further up the bunch (and no doubt drop the wheel further up the road).
6.If you’ve sat on the back of a bunch the whole ride, consider saying ‘thank you’ to those who have done the work.
7.If you’ve sat of the back of a bunch the whole ride, don’t try and get involved in their sprint(s).
On the lighter side – when the lycra on the back of the knicks starts to thin out, bin them. No one want to see your butt!

have fun:)))

It’s great to see an initiative in Sydney that promotes the peaceful co-existence between cyclists and motorist.

Billboards around the Sydney CBD promote motorists looking out for cyclists while opening the car door, conversly there are similiar signs educating cyclists not to run red lights.
