Yes the Swan River cycle tracks are world class , up thru Kings park and back down thru the city centre , we regularly take the early Saturday morning train from Rockingham with our bikes to spend the day cycling around the city , a great way to see the beautiful city .

On that Rockingham is a cycling paradise , very well designed so you can cycle everywhere and anywhere easily and safely with the ride up the cycle tracks from Safety bay to Port Kennedy a favourite , great ride ! its such a shame that lots of places missed the bus on the designing of cycle tracks .

I do 50+ km a weekend , great way to unwind and see the sights .

I think I know how drug users feel. The rush I get when i am about to strap on the inlines is indescribable. I'm not sure what chemical is being released in my brain but it is a pretty good one.

I know a guy who (until he retired last year) unicycled to and from work each day. He NEVER took a day off and did many thousands of km each year.

Sure beats the bus!!
