The blog post makes an interesting point about sizing that I've never heard. Go a size larger for a flat bar setup. #BikeTooter #FediBike

Hard to tell, but this is a receipt from Nova Cycle Supply, 1991. They sold their own inexpensive tubesets. They closed a few years back, and the next cheapest tubes are Columbus Chomor, which I can't seem to find anywhere. #bikes #bicycles #diy

Bicycle Network is running a campaign to get the Victorian State Government to allocate 5% of the transport budget to building the Strategic Cycling Corridors.

It's a very small ask but would be a huge step up from current funding levels.

Critical was a good ride this month. Riding through Yarra to highlight the sad decision the council made not to progress with the Wellington St upgrades.
