Melbourne


A PLAN to replace a lane of traffic with a bike lane on a busy East Melbourne street has sparked a storm of protest.

The city council wants to build a new super lane for cyclists on Albert St.

But businesses along the street said the $800,000 project was lunacy and would increase traffic congestion at all hours.
...
Spokesman Brian Negus said it generally favoured separate bike lanes, but not at the cost of increasing congestion. <a href="http://bicyclecommute.wordpress.com/2007/12/02/melbournes-drivers-fight-back-2/">http://bicyclecommute.wordpress.com/2007/12/02/melbournes-drivers-fight-back-2/</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
