Description:
Ever wanted to ride a bicycle over the West Gate bridge? No? Sounds terrifying? How about with 10,000 other people?
In this video, I dust off my bike and prepare it to participate in Bicycle Network’s Around The Bay mass ride. This ride is notable for not only its size, but the ability to ride over the West Gate Bridge - somewhere normally completely off limits to bikes - on two lanes reserved specifically for the event. But my bike’s not quite had all the care and attention it’s deserved, and so we’re going to give it a good clean, work out how to make it a little quicker and go over how to carry things.
