Martyn P replied to Mike Rubbo's discussion Shopping by bike can take off"Warringah mall is bizarre to cycle to. I've found the bike rack opposite the bus stops and getting there is ok but trying to get out of there and back to the manly cycle path is labyrinthine."
Sam Daykin replied to Mike Rubbo's discussion Shopping by bike can take off"It's at the font on the store at the north corner.
Mind you, having said that and checked Google earth it looks like there is a blue coloured car where the racks are/used to be so either the photo is out of date and the racks were put in after,…"

"I have a 'multi-modal' bike. Its a BMX I got off eBay for $4.80. Can leave it at any station, even overnight and its still there in the morning. And when I take it on the train doesn't take up as much room as my commuter or…"

Si replied to Mike Rubbo's discussion Shopping by bike can take off"I'd be very interested in any ideas you have about how to promote bike shopping
Reasonable {cycle,shared}{way,path,lane,route}s and reasonable bicycle parking at the end. That is all.
Warringah Hell, i mean Mall, has loads more bicycle…"
Colin replied to Mike Rubbo's discussion Shopping by bike can take off"Today's load:
Most of my cycling is short utility trips. The phrase "commuter cyclist" seems weird to me.
(Forgot that Aldi don't give you bags. What you see is just the top layer - all the tins and bottles were underneath.)"

Paul Martin replied to Mike Rubbo's discussion Shopping by bike can take off"Excellent film, Mike.
I think all these small transport trips are far more important than this narrow focus on 'commuting' trips.
However 'commuting' is an easier target - the low hanging fruit: working adults are more likely…"
rococoabean replied to Mike Rubbo's discussion Shopping by bike can take off"Nice work, Mike!

- I'm a bike blogger and filmmaker, promoting the European way of riding here. I am also campaigning for an exemption for Bike share bikes from MHL.
lastly, I believe bike art can help change perceptions about utility cycling especially. Hence I'm having an exhibition of such art at the Tap gallery in Darlinghurst, starting, July 4th.
