Australian Photos Pre MHL
From recent posts on Freestyle FB it has occurred to me that we need to make an appeal for photos of what cycling was like in various places around Australia before MHL.
This would enable us to post pictures of places that people will recognise helping them to understand that this type of normal cycling did in fact happen in “Their” own backyard.
This will help us to show for most who seem to have forgotten that where they live now in recent history had normal cyclists.
So if everyone could dig into their photo collections as this is the pre digital camera period and post them on FB would be great.
The other thought is as it is at least in part normal to cycle non helmeted in Darwin do we have any friends in the top end that could take pictures of normal cyclists for us out and about in Darwin , this would be even better as then we could give these pictures a current date.
I find the pictures of overseas does help but can’t help thinking as many Australian seem to say, well that is not Australia and that could never happen here. It is not only about MHL that I get this told to me, ahh yes I must be a dreamer.

I will email Mike and see if he has any still shots even better if he has a group of helmet free cyclists.
Hope your not cycling in Joburg not a cycle friendly place at all.
Take care on your trip.
