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). Donga |

This might be the BIGGEST sale issue of the BIG issue yet! [image: http://www.bigissue.org.au/image/upload/277_BIKE.jpg] "[image: http://www.bigissue.org.au/image/on_sale.gif] 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. -- rooman |

The $4 is well spent even if the articles are ordinary. donga |

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/). -- treadly&me |

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. SteveA -- SteveA |

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. |

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... LH -- LotteBum |
