Now I’m not an activist by any stretch, and would not like to have my car stolen either, but could Lake Macquarie council please stop wasting our rates money on backhandedly advertising cycling as inconvenient, uncomfortable and a poor alternative to driving?
Or is it me just reading something into this ? At the very least they should hire an advertising agency that knows what they are doing ….
hmmm....

Why is it that you rarely see bikes parked outside gymnasiums? Is it inconvenient if you happen to make a pickup there (teehee)? (Then buy a Brompton!) Will it detract from your performance on the high tech equipment if you are already exercised when you arrive?
Have you so little time that you can only drive – or did you just not think about riding there, or don’t own a pushbike? Who knows ? Maybe it’s just that regular cyclists don’t feel the need to go to gyms ? Anyway, Happy Treadmilling ….
well, i couldn't work it out ...
The other recent “hmmm” thing I saw was on an ad for the ABC four corners program last night. A retiree hit by the global financial crisis was shown leaving home on his bicycle with a backpack — a not so subliminal stereotype of poverty ? Sigh … we’ve still a long way to go.
