Oy! I suggested that two months ago:

OK, I'm sure I wasn't the first.

It's been mentioned before .. and it should be raised again ..

Announcement: on 8th August 2006 you're either creatively partaking in cycling-orientated activities or taking the day off.

You will also persuade all your family, friends and work colleagues to do likewise.

Why?

It's Census 2006:

You will ride around all day, imbibe coffee, eat bakery goods, have fun in the process, and *increase* those all important statistics that various tiers of Australian government base their cycling infrastructure funding upon.

Another creative/evil idea.

Actually, think again, it's probably a good one.

Who's putting down ***Cyclist*** as their religion on the census?

Forget the Jedi Knight palavar from a few years ago - convert now to the One True Faith: Obi-Wan Kenobi now rides a fully pimped Kona Stinky Delux. Or a Pinarello Dogma.

Or even a hardwaste fixte/SS if he's acquired a bigger fleet.

4 years ago I seem to remember this same idea came up on aus.motorycles.

They're all jedis now ;-)

- Seriously though, I don't think trying to manipulate the statistics is
necessarily the best way to get better facilities. But I'm wrong 47%
of the time...

Who's putting down ***Cyclist*** as their religion on the census?

Wouldnt dream of such a subversive thing........wanders off whistling nonchalantly.

If fact if one is up to anything subversive,let alone riding a bike, the 8th August is the day.
Bugger the coffee and bakeries, you can do that anyday.

I'm just scared they'll think we wrote a writeo (what's a written
tyop?), and meant "rastafarian". Eeeeek!
