The times, they are a changing ...

Soon enough, the issue of cyclists on our roads will be moot.

Not because of effective advocacy, or new (unenforceable ...) laws, or bike paths etc.  But because of this :

oil prices from ’78 to ’07

Anyone who doubts that car use is going to go down, and bike use up for transport, probably also doubts that the earth orbits the sun, predicts the future with astrology and knows that PI is actually 4.

Last year's bike sales figures exceed car sales (as they usually do ...) again, but by a bigger margin, and at Cycle Science, we've had a noticeable increase in people buying and maintaining commuter bikes. The hoons hassling Cadel when he's out training, soon enough, will be riding themselves.

What's odd is that our governments seem oblivious.  They're still building freeways and tollroads. Who's going to use them?
