Victoria Police now handing out No-bell Awards
Note: this is a bicycle bell. Simple, cost effective, can be useful when necessary although I'd prefer a Airzound.

- Hi Chris,
Wondering where is the best place on the site to look for a group to go road-cycling with around Laverton/Point Cook area.
Cheers

Trevor Shone said… - Hi Chris
Thanks heaps for the welcome.I get down to Melbourne a bit (not enough really) Last time i was down i took a heap of photos of various cycles and their owners and did a spread in Bicycle Network.Your town was made for cycling!! We will be coming down in two months (Jail for our puss again !!) to tour as many bike shops/cycling cafes to promote and post up posters for the Canberra Vintage/Classic ride. The human powered Cafe looks like a good start. Possible to catch up for a chat when down ?? I can also post down some posters to you if interested?
Cheers
Trevor

- Hi again,
There appears to be two ways to send messages on this site!
What's the protocol: A message from My Page or a comment on the wall here?

- Hi ChrisS,
I appreciated your welcome ... from the official welcommer!?
I'll be in Melbourne for a few weeks, shortly.
A heads-up on a few group rides, if possible ...
The Tuesday 6:30 am Fitzroy Cycles Ride from Barkly Street
and the Wednesday 6:00 am North Road Ride.
Comments?
Can't wait to see how a Melburn Roobaix works! I guess I'll be able to navigate using a mini Melb. street Directory.
Regards
Johnni

- Hi Chris,
Thank you for your message of welcome.
I guess the second best thing about a bike is that it is very environmentally-friendly... and it's always there ... ;)
