evolution

a lot of people who ride motorbikes like to think that each version of the motorbike was another improvement on the bicycle.

i like putting the idea the other way... that the bicycle represents a refined version of the motorbike...

for this post there is no "pure" bicycle. where a fourth photo might otherwise be, you can picture your own bicycle there, or re-view some of the posts...

thanks to the friend who loves motorised bikes for these images

copenhagen

the bicycle futures conference was recently held at the university of melbourne.

this conference was not in copenhagen.

nor did it receive international media coverage.

Niels Torslov, Traffic Director of City of Copenhagen however did have some words of wisdom...

download the lecture to hear those very words. 

with thanks to my thoughtful wife for pointing this out to me.

something's fishy

Why is the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria the main sponsor of "ride to work day"???

Paul Mees wrote his bit today, about the event yesterday.

...shame about the slightly patronising tone of the video that accompanies the article.
