Bicycling Australia made a mistake in the July/August 2008 magazine.

Cycling in Paradise

A lap of Rottnest Island hardly sounds like a training ride. It’s only 24 km of undulating road, with a tailwind half the way. But try towing a couple of kids in a trailer and that extra 40 kg of ballast will guarantee you get your training in.

Most sports fans rarely get the opportunity to meet the legends of their sport. However with the growing stature of Australian cycling, it now seems quite plausible that we can expect to regularly see some of our sports international legends visiting these shores for promotional purposes. Their days of competition may be over, but the aura that resulted from their successful careers seemingly goes on forever. Especially in the eyes of their fans.

Training for the Alpine Classic

Venturing out of the rebel stronghold of Hoth, Michael Hanslip takes you on a tour of the Death star that is climbing for the Alpine Classic.

Although most of you don’t own folding bikes, BA took up an invitation to visit the world’s leading folding bike manufacturer as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations.
