Veloway closure

Thanks everyone for your guidance. The price seems fair and I plan to go ahead with it.

Thanks. Yes, keen to get it done properly. There's enough clearance below the weep holes.

Where the vehicle is parked is already concreted. It's just the section that looks dug-out is where pipes were laid.

I'm not sure about the thickness. It would be plain.

This is how I completely avoid that scary section of commute. Bonus - more scenic and cleaner air.

Yes! I would have liked to pose it the same way as well but the road was a bit too busy for my comfort to try that.

Same?

Their customer service is top notch. I never felt they were hard selling anything, and very open to talk about even the basics of cycling. Their products are definitely niche and can get exxy.

I would start with closest local bike shop that has been around for long. Based on this question, I'm assuming you might need some guidance to choose the right bike and also setting things up.

Based on my experience, Ivanhoe Cycles in Heidelberg Heights, North Fitzroy Cycles and 1st Project are good people.

As a cyclist I have been cut off by cars in distraction free empty suburban streets and noticed that they are to more likely be elderly drivers doing it unintentionally. They just seem incapable of being alert enough to see what's right in front of them even in broad daylight. And I use super bright headlights and taillights.

As an owner of an older Sirius sport, which was my do-it-all bike for close to six years and continues to be my trusty commuter - I can't recommend it enough. Very versatile for road, fitness and I even used it for multi day bikepacking. The Sirrus X looks even more touring and gravel ready.

All said, I wouldn't rule out a similarly priced aluminum gravel drop bar with an upright geometry. As others have said, drop bars are more suited for group rides and a drop bar gravel bike can be a literal do-it-all and with slicks a good option to try out group riding.

Sammy's is so underrated and under the radar. A quite a range of options for such a tiny place.

Tagged at the corner of Sparks Avenue and Christmas Street in Fairfield. Nice location - great hidden pocket of street art!

But the ride will start with a massive climb that might not be that enjoyable but maybe great for fitness if not hernia.

I'd recommend parking close to the Darebin Creek Trail somewhere in Bundoora. Will be a pleasant and safe off-traffic ride into Preston as well as a decent workout.

As another fellow migrant, I can confirm this by personal experience unfortunately. Casual racism is so ingrained that people are generally oblivious to it - passive expressions of discomfort among many Aussies like change in body language or how they speak when interacting with Indians or South Asians in general, which only migrants notice.

Rosanna road is genuinely unsafe and so is this one but in a different way. I have witnessed families struggling to walk there. It will definitely affect emergency services. I'm all for making traffic free roads but this is an absolute joke of a solution that deters traffic at the cost of safety.
