Faster Than a Car

Today i had some stuff to do in the city, so i decided to test out this theory that cycling is faster than car travel (at least at 8.30am). Sure it makes sense - but i'm not a super-cyclist and my bike is not too flash.

So i set off near my house, and identified a "marker car" to measure my progress. I chose a Red Barina. In short, i immediately left it for dead, on my 1980s Repco Traveller.

Despite dismounting to cross at the lights i was never caught by the Red Barina - although a number of other cyclists passed me by.
