And before you all turn off and comment that you're sick and tired of these sorts of challenges, just think, every time this is done it makes cycling look good in the press, so it is worthwhile and we should support it enthusiastically.
So, to the results:
Two wheels good, four wheels bad, motor scooter wins the "race" in 25 minutes.
All this and no allocated lane 32 minutes for 15.5km equates to an average speed of about 29km/h for the cyclist. Pretty good going when you think of the number of traffic lights along the way!
Consolation heater car took 37 minutes. Average speed about 25km/h.
Bus and train took over an hour.
But the real congratulations must go to the runner I feel great but I don't look it who took 80 minutes to travel 16.4km (by pedometer), average speed about 12km/h. Good luck in the upcoming City to Surf!
But what effect will all of this have on the Minister responsible for "fixing" our public transport woes? Very little if his comment in the Herald is anything to go by,
| Your Top Gear-style transport challenge clearly shows the diverse travel options Sydney residents use to get to work every day. |
