Melbourne urban art. |
Making like a Melbournian, with a tikit to ride a tram. |
I got a tram tikit to ride ... |
Bicycle Victoria Vice President David Larson (left) and Ride-On Managing Editor Simon scrutenize the tikit - which missed out on their folding bike review, but no matter ... Onwards Christian Folders! |

The Cappucino Riders, a fast group of clearly retired or self employed weekday riders, wondering how on earth a tikit made it to their midst ... new Bike Friday tandem owner John Gould (in red) made me do it! Kooying coffee stop after Yarra bvld |
Multiple (3?) BF owners Alan and Sally Hutchison enthuse about one of their fave bike shops, Cycle Science Mitcham, where owner Peter Holloway enthused about the tikit: "That's a nice riding folding bike!" |
MBTC Dandenong ride chanced across another group including David and Yvonee, owners of a candy raspberry Bike Friday touring tandem. |
Getting ready to race "Oppy" up the road on my li'l commuter bike. |

| Memorial to Sir Hubert Opperman, Australia's greatest cyclist. This large notice telling people not t graffiti is almost graffiti in itself! |
The beauty of Australia - multiculturalism peeks out from under every rock and stump. |
Fred Surr the double jointed one... |
A bike with heart shaped rims - now there's an idea... |

| Damien of Cog Bicycle Shop Cafe at Mt Evelyn doesn't think small wheels are daft ... he was riding a microbike in a rally last week. |
We thought we'd stumbled on a new innovation, but no, it's just a "to-be-inflated" tire. |
Great view from the rooftop "cigar and scotch" terraza of the Melbourne Supper Club. Who needs to go to Europe when you live in Melbourne? |
Supposedly the biggest range of folding bikes in Melbourne ... but not the Bike Friday (yet). |
The Cafe where carbon fiber and big skinny wheels meet - so what on earth am I doing there with the Express tikit? Sticking on their wheel of course! Beachfront Melbourne. |
