A folding bike has a lot of advantages and depending on what the intended use is I wouldn't be looking at cheap.
There are many ways in looking at this problem because you can always justify it one way or the other. If you want a temporary bike, buy…
Onya! Jonathon,
I've done it a few times from Maribyrnong travelling the same way. I don't mind the highway and wave when I get the occasional toot.
How did you manage your nutrition and hydration?
Rick.
Hi Rory,
I live in Maribyrnong and frequent the city along Footscray road. From the area you describe you don't have a lot of choice between direct routes and safe.
What you described is about the best but one worth considering is getting onto the…
Good on ya Sandra.
Bit by bit. Don't try too hard too soon. Let the muscles adjust and listen to how your body reacts.
If there are friends you can ride with, all the better and you can enjoy rewarding yourself with a special treat.

I was looking at the tail light until I noticed the tyre removing tool ;)
[Great fun on the downhills....f@#*ing hard work going up !]
Were you on your own? I was always led to believe that 2 engines were better than one....
Sandra,
I can give you a brief account of my wife's Commuting. We live in Maribyrnong and she works at the royal childrens. Not far but it means 2 forms of transport for her, tram and bus. It normally takes her between 40 mins to an hour and a quart…

I ride that way occasionally from Maribyrnong. There is a few ways to go. Audax goes monthly but they take the back roads past the You Yangs and whilst this road is quiet it is narrow and vehicles travel 100kph or more and with a gravel shoulder I n…
Congratulations,
My little girl(now 7) Started riding only last saturday after being a tag a long acrobat for the last 3 years. Now we HAVE to take her little red bike everywhere. Oh! boy.
Big milestone for the dads,
Cheers Rick.

Hope this works
Go for it. Boring.. Yes/no depends on what tunes are in your head.
Faster? Much!
Legally you just have to turn off at Werribee and come back through Laverton, Williamstow, Footscray or come back onto the highway via Grieve Parade for a faster ride i…
There are many bike friendly cafe places around melbourne and suburbs. The owners are quite aware of the connection riders have with their machinery and respect that, even offering parking for your bike next to tables or not even quibble parked agai…
