Connex and V/Line could learn a thing, or several, from this smashing educational CTC video found via Tweed Cycling Club. Nice tips about taking bicycles on trains, cycling skills, group riding, socialising and the wonders of a jolly good day in the outdoors. Wizard! Ok lets not ask awkward questions right now why only a few years ago CTC organised protests involving cardboard bikes re: bicycles on trains access.

“I’m not a cyclists hater, I’m not nothing,” Jason told Macquarie Radio this morning.
“I was just driving along and I had a car failure and now I’m in trouble - I dunno.”
Oh the hiliarity which has ensured since “Jason” had his epic moment of cognitive and mechanical dissonance on Sydneys Southern Cross Drive on Thursday morning. Not only did he piss off from a road incident (yes, obviously clearly illegal), the lad then had the temerity to go on 2GB and have a chat. Read the rest of this entry »
Want some hot bike lovin’ action? Well get yourself to Canberra. Yes, I did type the word ‘Canberra’.
So, if you’re in Canberra or visiting soon, the re-opening of the Royal Danish Embassy includes a cycling themed exhibition entitled “Dreams on Wheels: Danish Cycling Culture for Urban Sustainability”.
The exhibition includes an amazing bicycle film festival (see the program in the links below!), speakers program, a community day and free rides on an original Copenhagen Citybike.
From the Danish Embassy site: The exhibition is curated by Thomas Ermacora, Founder of Etikstudio, and has previously been shown at the Danish House in Paris, The Danish Design Centre in Copenhagen, and Harbourfront Centre of Toronto.
The concept is driven by the motivation to illustrate how a “cyclocentric” approach to urban development stimulates environmental concern and sustainable civic behaviour.
Dreams on Wheels can be seen at the Showcase Gallery, Commonwealth Place, Canberra, ACT from 3 May to the 1 June 2008. Admission is free and open to people of all ages.
