There seems to be a leeeetle bit of disappointment at the numbers. It's true rain, or a hint of it, puts people off - even though riding in the rain is one of the great experiences, in my view. (OK, in moderation.) And don't forget any total is a mi…
This is good to hear. I reckon it is a trunk route, well worth investing millions in, mainly because I use it regularly from Rozelle to Newtown (for caffeine-related purposes). Or to circle south of the city towards the eastern suburbs. Being old, f…
I so wish I could post a wonderful fat-to-fabulous story here like other people. My experience is not quite as inspiring, though. I started cycling again in my late 40s, about 9 years ago, having signed up to a masters' games, in which I was rowing…
REVOLUTION ON THE ROADS
Story
Mathew Dunckley
Cyclists claim the high moral ground and they are pushing their pedal power harder than ever.
It has been a long, uphill slog for Harry Barber to get cycling to the front and centre of the transport deba…

HarbourLink: nice try but no cigar, says Albanese

I am writing in support of federal funding for the HarbourLink project.
I am a resident of Rozelle in Sydney, and a regular cyclist. I ride to work most days.
I also ride on weekends to my mother's house in Mosman, across the Anzac Bridge, through the city and over the Harbour Bridge.
Being middle-aged and not particularly fit, with reflexes not what they once were, I steer clear of roads with heavy traffic on… Continue
