In the morning I joined Guy and Freddie for a short morning ride to Guy’s work place. Guy is one of the few Australians who cycle to work. There is quite a bit of cycling infrastructure around here with bike lanes etc, but few people use them.
Once again today I was enjoying a strong tail wind all the way to Melbourne. My average speed could have been higher if I had followed the main highway, but I was zig-zagging my way into the city on the Federation Path, a bike lane that took me through the suburbs of Melbourne.
I have been on the country side for so long time that the urban landscape I was cycling through felt strangely exotic. I guess not many people would see it like this, but I found the industrial neighborhoods beautiful and certainly very different from the places I have been lately.
Finally Melbourne’s skyline appeared and I made my way to the Victoria Market.
The next 10 days I will rest the legs and celebrate New Year in Melbourne!
