In the light of recent criticism for being "anti car" I have to confess to being a little bit guilty as charged, but the reason I'm so forthright about people getting out of dinosaur fuelled tin…Continue

- What is the best thing about riding?
- By not driving (or even owning) a car I'm healthier, wealthier, wiser and happier.

I also believe that because the law allows cycling without a licence (which is an old french word for privilege), then cycling is a right, while driving is privilege. To me, this means that cyclists should have the legal priority over motorists. (And yes, pedestrians should have the legal priority over cyclists, too.)

I've been planning to travel light. Light, long sleeves and legs, one spare tube, a tiny puncture repair kit, cable lock velcroed to handlebars, 4 bananas, 6 muesli bars. Now it looks like I need a rain coat, at least for some of the trip.
I might start off wearing a garbage bag...

Which Hobart suburb are you from? I've been over here about 20 years & have lost touch with whatever going on down there, but have been attempting to stay up to date w/ bicycle stuff with Tim from Bicycle Tas & the Bottles & Chains crew.
