What do you LOVE about riding in Melbourne?
With an extensive and growing network of bike lanes and parks, Melbourne is slowing becoming the Amsterdam of the south. Every day, more people are riding, and discovering the joys of it as a transportation alternative. With fair weather all year round, you can count on one hand the number of days you’ll get wet.
What do you hate?
The constant fight against mainstream media that cycling is a hippie (or poor man’s) means of travel, and the belief of motorists that by not paying registration, we have no place on the road. Registration of cyclists is something that has been suggested of late, but the administration of that proposal was prohibitive.
Who are Melbourne’s public promoters of cycling?
The current mayor of Melbourne, John So, is considering introducing the “white bikes” [bike share] scheme.
