Bike Love on Valentine's Day!

What do we love on Valentine's Day?  We love bikes, we love the people who ride them, we love cycleways and we love Clover Moore!  So what better way to show our love and appreciation than to stalk a busy Bourke St Cycleway intersection armed with flowers and lollipops...

A few people were a little afraid of such positive enthusiasm aimed their way, on an early Tuesday morning (this can be an uncommon occurence in car-heavy Sydney), but we got lots of smiles and waves soon enough!

It was great to interact with the bikelists that you normally just pass by and we did enjoy seeing bike traffic at the lights!

There was no alternative motive for us other than to share our enthusiasm for bicycles and to capture some of our community in action using the cycleway...

And while we were there, what better time to deliver one's own Valentine to their love... S-boy travels on Bourke st each day, so we waited and waited...

Then spotted...

And delivered.  Ahh romance and bikes!

And to top off a happy, love-filled morning who did we see?  Clover Moore - Who could love bikelists more?

 
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your bike!!

Why didn't I catch you guys? I bike thru that intersection twice everyday! I probably went thru the intersection at about 9:05 AM. Awesome job guys!

Great blog, I'll come back to visit again. PS Where does that cycleway run to in the city? It's been years since I was in Sydney and I don't remember it as being as good as that for cyclists.

Hi Dodo, the cycleways starts at Waterloo and goes all the way to Woolloomooloo wharf passing through Taylor Square. It has really encouraged people to get riding and you will see so many more bikelists than ever before!
