It's about 15 minutes long.
Notice how the people in this video dress.
Not for them the fashion statements of lycra. Cycling is so much a part of their lives they simply wear ordinary clothes, making cycling to work less of a drama.
Here in Toowoomba we do have the 2050 project making an attempt to find out what people want.

But we do not have to reinvent the wheel, Europe, as well as many other areas of the world, is well in advance of Australia and there is much that we can learn from to be applied here in our city.
But only if cyclists take it upon themselves to lobby for a safer, better, sustainable future.
