The Art of Riding

The first thing you notice when you start getting about by bike is just how much of the world you miss when you travel by car.

Firstly you’re traveling too fast, or not at all in a traffic jam, but most of all you’re always traveling the same old route day in day out.

On a bike the world expands: you can hear the birds sing in the morning, or smell the scent of jasmin at midnight.

You can take bike paths, back alleys, main drags or side streets, and along the way view the ever-changing canvas of street art, body art and cycle chic that makes Melbourne so marvelous.
