Ride to Work Day
This morning, I joined five Pedal Power activists, who were waiting for me at 6.45am at the Hackett shops, to cycle into work for their annual ‘Ride to Work’ day. A very pleasant way to start the day. And fortunately, the gentle drizzle didn’t turn into torrential rain until the very end.
Ahh well, at least you didn’t get run over by a truck and then blamed for riding on a public road. A road that despite being rather busy does actually have bicycle facilities despite the coppers statement which makes it appear otherwise, the cycle lanes just happen to `vanish’ in the most dangerous places of course.

(it’s near to where I ride to a customer’s site for meetings, so it was a bit close to home so to speak).
Andrew, was great to ride to work with you the other day. Check out the short video, including your interview, at http://www.pedalpower.org.au/advocacy/news.asp#3788.
