It’s still a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history.

Please share it as much as you can.

Somehow, I think it will take more than letter writing to get certain council members to listen, but you've got to start somewhere.

On the way to childcare, we spotted a lone Digga demolition skip.
On the way home from childcare, we found the demolition site!

What was the best thing about parking across the road from Refuel Hub this morning?

Spotting two kids take a good look at our #UrbanArrow as they walked past with their parents 😍

In memory of Donald Shoup, we re-released our 2023 interview with the brilliant, witty and influential scholar. "The High Cost of Free Parking" is a hugely important book and his research has influenced countless planners and advocates around the world. RIP.

Me: Here is the bus stop.
4yo: But where is the chair?
Me: Good question.

Before she turned one, she’d attended keynotes by @bronryriejones.bsky.social and @daisychristo.bsky.social. Today, at the age of two, she added a morphology workshop by #DrNathanielSwain to her list.

Hopefully, her grandparents will be in town for #ResearchEdBallarat, though🤞.

Every year, my cycling goal is not to be hit by a driver operating a motor vehicle.

Since getting our #UrbanArrow, we’ve used our old baby seat only once to carry a child.

Instead, I regularly use it to transport things back from the op shop, like this feather cushion yesterday.

Our first ride of 2025 was to a playdate.

There was nothing mundane about it for these two, though.

It’s acceptable to holiday in a ‘shop top’, but what would it take to get more Victorians living in one?

Thanks, #BallaratTimes, for another chance to promote active transport.

We'll keep speaking out until governments adequately fund active transport and end the scourge of car dependency.

We deserve no less.
