Town Hall abandons bike budget cuts In a dramatic change of tune the City of Melbourne last week abandoned proposals in its draft 2025 budget to cut funding from its bike infrastructure program.

A win for safer streets, cleaner transport and a more liveable Melbourne.

Jimmy Carter, with white hair, walking a red bicycle.

There are a lot of photos of Jimmy Carter with this custom-made Rivendell bicycle. He had it for a long time; he must have really loved it.

Longhaul.

Marin Stinson gravel conversion Dad Bike POV behind drop bar handlebar riding up Cambridge Cam River canal path.

Even after the COVID bike-boom, I'm still stoked to see people re-imagining old 80's / 90's / 00's bicycle junk into sweet gravel conversions / commuters and cafe cruisers.
Beats buying new every time, plus you'll 100% pick up some new skills along the way.

Roll On Blank Tapes Vintage Retro closed shopfront in Cambridge England UK.

Roll On Blank Tapes sold recently, some 22 years after its closure. There was something very comforting about this shop continued existence; a sort of unintended monument to the cassette / CD era.
