G...Used to ride into the City everyday for 6 years. Got so used to the bike tracks that now I am riding the opposite direction to Dandenong I miss them. 2 years now I have been riding to Dandenong and there is NO cycling infrastructure this side. The bike lanes don't marry up, you have to keep swapping sides when you follow the train tracks. I have sent numerous letters to Parliament and Council members on the obvious lack of facilities this side and keep getting the same response, it's someone elses job.<br />Did the whole ride to work thing, (I do it every day anyway) and stopped off in Dandenong for the community breakfast, what a joke. May aswell never have had it in the first place.<br />I am now one of the poor cycling cousins everyone talks about. Have you seen the amount of vacant land beside the tracks that runs all the way from Oakleigh to Dandenong. Enough room to put a road and a bike path.<br />I must say I am very dissapointed that once again we here in the poor end of town don't get a mention.satur000https://www.blogger.com/profile/07124573072962996732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939483568349039026.post-18792095124012727392011-08-22T16:47:33.329+10:002011-08-22T16:47:33.329+10:00many of them dont know about this Solid tires incl...many of them dont know about this Solid tires include those used for lawn mowers, skateboards, golf carts, scooters, carts, and trailers.<a href="http://www.bikessale.com.au/bikes-melbourne.htm" rel="nofollow">Bikes Melbourne</a>prolixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136895559261571864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939483568349039026.post-21312631882905399722011-05-04T11:23:46.082+10:002011-05-04T11:23:46.082+10:00I think this cycling strategy will be helpful for ...I think this cycling strategy will be helpful for people who are inner as well as outer city riders.

That's the short term arrangement. I'm not sure what the long-term one is.Grahame Grievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635283945076545993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939483568349039026.post-76588358172750997952009-03-31T12:10:00.000+11:002009-03-31T12:10:00.000+11:00Thanks for the comment.

I was under the impression you put some money in a bike station pay machine, then you take the bike wherever, and get money back when you return the bike to a station.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965747129944311582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939483568349039026.post-91434738048026007882009-03-30T18:02:00.000+11:002009-03-30T18:02:00.000+11:00I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago, and got arou...I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago, and got around on Velib. I think it works real well. <BR/><BR/>Certainly the system has a lot of use. Really serious amounts. And it's easy to use, quick and simple. The bikes are simple, but well suited to inner city riding. <BR/><BR/>But I don't know how well it will adapt to Melbourne. Paris has a much higher population density, much worse traffic, and is flatter. In addition to this, there's a massive bicycle culture in Paris - bicycles *everywhere* - perhaps 10-fold what I see in inner Melbourne, and a serious commitment to bicycle paths everywhere.<BR/><BR/>The biggest problem I found with Velib: what do you do when you get to your destination, and there's no slot for returning your bike? Happened a couple of times out of about 16 times I used a velib, and one time me and a bunch of locals hung around looking impatient until someone took a bike. grrr.<BR/><BR/>As for stealing bikes - on Velib you pay a deposit, which you lose if the bike gets stolen. Seems pretty straight forward to me.Grahame Grievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635283945076545993noreply@blogger.com
