The BIG Issue - bikes

If you have $4 spare, pick up a copy of the BIG ISSUE (yellow bike
sign for the cover) - a few articles on cycling including a very
positive editorial (give that man a medal).

There’s been a quiet, pedal-powered revolution on our streets in recent
years. At peak hour on inner-city cycle routes around Australia, bikes
bank up in drifts at the lights. The humble bicycle is no longer the
preserve of hippies and health freaks – sales of bicycles now exceed
cars as more Australians than ever before are pushing for a healthier
world. The Big Issue gets on its bike and investigates.

Not sure - the editorial is good, but the rest will be digested over a
week's lunches. The $4 is well spent even if the articles are
ordinary.

Well written feature article by Hilary Harper, but nothing really new
to anyone who hangs around here. Haven't had a squint at the rest of
the mag yet.

Reviewed the main article here 'Bike Power in The Big Issue'
(http://treadly.thingoid.com/2007/04/...he-big-issue/).

Well every time I've bought it it's been top-notch so $4 very well-spent
I'd say.

//Adam FAlways good reading. And I like to stop to have a chat with the bloke
who sells them on the footbridge from Perth railway station to the
city.

Everyone, if you have time, stop for a chat with the seller who
provides you with your Big Issue - you'd be surprised how interesting
it can be.

Finally tracked down a seller on Thursday arvo and purchased his last
three copies. He was extremely pleased with that & mentioned it was
his birthday. So I sang him Happy Birthday (with another bypasser
joining in with my off key rendition). Lovely bloke, he's in the CBD
and has his little doggie in a basket alongside.

That is so sweet! Good on you.

I bought a copy of the latest Big Issue the other day - my first. What
a fantastic read! News Ltd could score some ideas from these guys! I
might leave it lying around the office for people to read...
