Brains Trust!

Advocacy Lessons from Melbourne, Adelaide and New York

BIKESydney’s first Brains Trust event kicks off in March.  One of our aims this year is to work more closely with other advocacy organisations and individuals. The BriansTrust events, which will happen every couple of months, will be one of the ways we do this. Each event will be an opportunity to hear and share information and ideas. In March we’ll hear from three BIKESydney advocates who have recently returned from bicycle related conferences and study trips.  We hope to see you there.

Keep an eye out for his updates on Total Rebuild – see right…Fare thee well Lee. Thanks for your hard work and interesting observations.

Everything and the kitchen sink..

The Watershed borrowed our Xtracycle for the Marrickville Australia Day Eco-Fair, to demonstrate all the cool stuff that they can carry. We can do a good price on the Xtracycles for the next few weeks as well.

The Battle For Sydney

Dave and I were interviewed a few months ago for this cool mini-doco about the state of cycling in Sydney. Check it out.

Schwalbe delivery

We recently got our Schwalbe tyre delivery and we tried to bury our six foot six Michael underneath. We just pulled up short, he is only crouching a little to support the tower.

Lots of cool tyres coming out this year from Schwalbe. Touring tyres in both 700 and 26inch and some very nice rolling road tyres as well. I’ve been trying out some Ultremo DDs

XtraCycle Discounts!

We’re big fans of the XtraCycle longtail cargo bike system. Check out this cool Rohloff Schmidt Big Dummy we did not so long ago. Our shop Xtracycle setup is very handy for margaritas and daiquiris as well..

Why am I telling you all this? The standard Xtracycle setup, consisting of a Free-Radical extension frame (26″ wheels) and the Longtail cargo kit are on sale for $600 for February. That’s about 20% off the normal price.  If you want to put a substantial dent in your car use, and breath some new life into an old mountain bike that doesn’t see the singletrack anymore, it could be just what you’re looking for.
