Born in 1946 I learnt to cycle about 10 years later. On a bike with rods connecting brake levers to the brakes - anyone remember those? I emigrated to Australia (from the UK) in 1974 and moved to Tasmania in 1984. Bicycles were in my life for most of that time although sometimes they were replaced by motorised two wheels for a bit more excitement. On reaching 70 I decided to stick to pedal power but in 2019 an electric recumbent made an appearance. it's now 2023 and I have 3 bikes. 2 e-recumbents and the Brompton.

Three Trikes do the Launceston Trails

Colin, Rob and I decided to spend Saturday morning cruising the Launceston shared bike / walking trails. We met at the free parking area next to the Mowbray Cricket Ground – where Ricky Ponting began his career playing grade cricket. Who’s Ricky Ponting? Well you’re not a cricket fan are you?
