The new bike bridge over Footscray road is open, i love it! It's a pity about the price tag of the $10B freeway, but you've got to take what you can get

Wow, an amazing Ride2School day this morning! Big thanks to Bicycle Network and the Yarra council. The kids and parents were really excited. I'm doing a 'hands up' count this arvo, expecting high numbers of riders. Once we know how many kids are *able* to ride, we can aim for that amount every day
