Cycling in Melbourne Australia
Recycling old cycles - another great Dutch idea!
A new project started up in Holland this week. A small company buys up serviceable old bike frames, gives them a trendy paint job and environmentally-friendly new components, and sells them for good money. Is there such a scheme in Australia? A window of business opportunity for someone!

Triffic Cory, thanks for all those links!
I'll post them on the blog and pass them on to Sydney people too. I was recently trying to give away a decent old bike to a good cause in Holland and nobody could tell me what to do with it. Fortunately I found a needy friend to give it to.
