Benefits Package

Often i write here about the benefits of being car-free. Today i noticed the footer on an email from the people at Ecomotion Concepts.


Sums it up nicely - i reckon.

Path Peace

Riding home after an early morning brekkie with friends, i hear another rider catching up to me on the path (remember i'm not the fastest rider in the world). Anyway, i veered onto the grass to let him pass (some paths are incredibly narrow in places).

Then i hear "It's ok mate - there's no rush". He casually cruised along behind me until we got over the hill and onto a wider section of path.

It was a sharp contrast to the hooting and hollering of road rage, so i've decided to call it Path Peace.

Brekkie Cycle

This morning i met up with some friends for a very early brekkie in Toowong. I decided to ride there, not just for the extra 10 min of sleep-in, but the novelty of having the bulk of the road to myself :)

Riding back was good too. Waved to a friend stuck in traffic. Even struggling up hill, i reckon i was doing double the speed of the morning crawl (going the other way).
