Foldaway Bicycle Carried On Train By Commuter From Blue Mountains

Today was my first time, I had  met a exciting cyclist carrying a fold away bicycle on a train. Infarct, when I first spoke to him I said he was carry a heavy bulky bag & he wasn't.

He  replied that he was carrying a dead body on the train. I nearly believe him until I saw his smile and he not really its a foldaway bike. As an cycling enthusiastic hr just come back from a day cycling trip from Melbourne for fundraising for the "Royal Blind Society'. He lives in the Blue mountains and travels from Redfern to Botany to work.

He also explained how he purchased a fold away bicycle for his mother a few years ago - she enjoyed using it in a park and since she hasn't used it. In saying  that, he still encourages her to use it  and he advised he might contact our Blue Mountains transport group. Also seek information from his local local government area  regarding cycling pathways etc.

People like him are needed to improve public transport for cyclists for a better future!
