Today a friend and i wanted to go to Fortitude Valley, which is a fair distance from my friend's place in Toowong. For reasons which are complicated (and not really that interesting) it was best for me to cycle there - and best for my friend to catch the train.
The obvious solution? (remember that i have a scientific nerdy side) ... an experiment!
So in the vein of Phileas Fogg (though with a little less fanfare) the challenge was made. Starting from Toowong it was a race to see who would arrive first, at our chosen destination.
Suffice to say that both options were quite speedy. However, the winner on this ocassion was the bicycle (yes that's right - even on the trusty old repco traveller). Taking the bicentennial bikeway to the city, and then adelaide and ann streets, the margin was a clear 6 minutes.
