Thanks for the reply. However, I live in glen waverley (kinda already on
the correct side of melbourne) and I dont mind riding through the city.
Riding on roads in the city isnt that exciting i suppose but exploring
bike trails is awesome. You get to see the city from a different
perspective that just driving along roads (which all look the same) and
you discover places you never knew existed!
I started riding around melbourne on bike trails long before I ever got
my car licence . I rode from glen waverley to the city, right out west,
back past the docklands, up to bundoora, templestowe and even right up
the side of mt dandenong. After I got my car and started driving around
such places I'd be like "hey, i've been here before, and there's the
bike trail!". Quite interesting I reckon... and u all think i'm crazy
. what fun.
Anyway, thanks for all the replies. Your suggestions will help me plan
my ride if/when I go. All I have to do is convince one of my
not-so-crazy friends to join me
Thanks again.
- Robert.
