Taste the freedom that comes with bicycling shares this pearl of wisdom,
| Even if you threw money at making cycle lanes, it wouldn't create a bike culture on its own |
and goes on to suggest that it required a holistic approach:
1/ encourage children to ride
2/ provide lanes to ride on
3/ make cycling attractive
And here's another gem regarding bicycle culture:
| It's a bit like how having a car is a status symbol in some countries - do you have a red Porsche or a white Peugeot? In Denmark, if you have a Christiana bike (a trike which can carry children, weights and loads), or a Biomega cycle, you're saying who you are. |
Ofcourse its all a plug for the Dreams on Wheels exhibit which ends in Sydney on Saturday.
Tips to be saddle happy gives some relevant pointers to choose the right bicycle for you.
It goes on to suggest a few resources that might help you in choosing the right bicycle.
