The difference 6 months makes



On Saturday I returned to Tempe Velodrome for some club racing. By chance I was able to borrow a car and dust off my track bike that has been looking at me with disappointed eyes for so long. It was the first time I'd raced in 6 months and quite a revelation for me in terms o… Continue

Everyone's a critic

Bicycles seem to be great conversation starters between strangers. Last saturday night was one such occasion. I was catching the train into the city with my fuji touring bike and there was another guy on the train who also had his bike. He then said to me "Thats's a great touring bike you've got there... [thanks]... but its no good for riding in the city". Oh??? "Why is it no good for riding in the city?" I asked. "Well, the wheels aren't strong enough"... Huh?... I didn't digress in to the deta… Continue

Welcome to Heffron Park

On Saturday was my last race at Heffron Park. I've decided to leave it for a while as it is so time consuming while I'm trying to finish my studies and maintain some semblance of a social life on weekends.

Here is some footage from the start of the race. Paul Craft (or Crafty) decided to lay into one guy when he turned up wearing a world champhionship jersey. Crafty does this any time a person wears a jersey that does not belong to them. This guy should have known better. He was being ripped in… Continue

What cyclists' want...

The whole bike lane debate is often a Shibboleth in the cycling community. I thought this Yehuda Moon comic strip puts a really nice spin on what cyclists want.

Hi Susan, I just let the folks at Dulwich Hill Bicycle Club now about your bike. I think there are a number of junior track riders who might be interested.

Hi Adrian,
Sorry I missed you at our cafe on Saturday. It's all coming along nicely, the lounge is going to have a satellite event for the Bicycle Film Fest next month & hence I'm running around finishing off painting & related artwork stuff. Hope you enjoyed the muffins & Steves coffee-making prowess. ;)

I should of nabbed you for another YarraBUG Radio interview, back up in Syd now?

BTW - How was the bike futures talkfest?

OK thanks Adrian. Pity about that. We used to have a lot of fun with our kids when we were touring with our 2 tandems and having races along some of the quiet country roads to help keep them entertained. It would be good to see it done seriously.

G'day Adrian,

Just noticed that you mentioned tandem racing in a comment. We used to ride tandems and I would dearly love to be able to watch them thundering around in a race. How do you find out when/where they will be racing?

No worries...I understand. Thanks for your help!

All the best,
Paul.

Hey Adrian,

Paul here from Gazelle, hope you have a great 2009! Are you still planning on doing a write up of the Gazelle?

Cheers,
Paul.

You may have already seen this but thought you might be interested in this Momentum article and its links given the book you are reading atm.

Hey Adrian,

I've been trying to find out some history about the "good old Bennett" I've aquired. You said your dad owned one, would you know around what years they were produced?

Thanks,

Polak
