The Loco-bike

A couple of guys from New South Wales have put together this innovative contraption for use on disused railway lines. Apparently it is even more efficient than normal cycling because of the low friction of riding on the metal rails (full story here).

Talk on the Street

Walking over to a mate's place last night (about 6pm) and i met another friend of mine on the way. She was coming home from work, and got off one train station early to get some walking in.

As we were talking, we agreed walking was more fun that the nearby drivers - sitting waiting for traffic to move, getting cut off by other cars, and blasting horns at one another.
