Opinion piece for DomPost, (printed with minor edits, 24 January 2012, pB5)
Riding a bike is fun. Most of us remember the sense of freedom when cruising round the neighbourhood as kids. It is a convenient way to get around. It eliminates parking worries. Our air and waterways are cleaner.
Biking makes you feel good.

In the grassroots and on a policy level, the bicycle is emerging as an effective engine of economic recovery.
