How to velomobile

What a great video I can only say again how much would like one of these awesonne machines.It also shows how cycling infrastructure is done well in other countries and how educated car drivers are to cyclists. Even cyclists in strange bicycles!!

Some extra photos from Koppio

Max and Mary rode a different route to the rest of us. Mary has sent me some of her photos to show Max cresting the hill on their ride.
Well Done Max!

Dene's Koppio trip stage 2

Well what a perfect ride. Dene has done another superb job of scouting out a route and liasing with the local landowners to gain access for us. Thanks Deno. Eight of us set out on Dene's ride with two others Mary and Max taking a different route. The day was one of the best weather wise we have had for over three months. What a interesting ride we had. Lots of hill climbing on cockies back tracks. The crops look magnificant after all the rain we have had. The canola is a picture that defies description with fields of yellow stretching to the horizon. Arriving back at the old Koppio school site Kingsley has once again prepared a beautiful feast for us to munch out on. Kiwi you missed out on a great ride.


Spectacular views

Copenhagen Cargo Bikes from Streetfilms on Vimeo.



Great video from streetfilms that gives a great view of the daily life in Copenhagen and how bikes can be used for most things in an urban setting.
