I ride a bicycle to work and back home in Melbourne, roughly 40kms a day.
Have been doing this since 1999 and have seen a few changes in that time...more people riding, a good thing, and a huge increase in the amount of cars on the road....a bad thing.
Train travel is slow and crowded...not my thing, specially when cycling is free and quicker.
I found this interview intersting from a few points of view.
Firstly, to my way of thinking, the E-bike is the local transport future...maybe along with small electric cars.
It’s a long interview with Stephen Hodge, who sold me my first decent bike at Spokesman cycles in Canberra in the early 1980’s.
I ride a normal bike, not an E-bike.
Hope you enjoy.
