QLD Flood Appeal Auction

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

As many of you know, Queensland has recently suffered some the worse flooding in decades. People have lost their homes, their livelihoods and even their lives.

I spent the majority of my childhood in Brisbane and many of the areas that suffered the worse flooding were places that I grew up in – the local shops, the university, the places where I used to hang out. The areas of devastation are all too familiar.

As such, I’m asking for your support for the Nuffnang United Queensland Flood Appeal Auction. There are 30 items up for auction via eBay and one of the items is an item donated from CycleStyle’s range, the Bronze Quilted Double Panniers Bags. These lovely panniers (of which there are only two in Australia) were featured by Lady Melbourne on her eponymous fashion blog. Bids start at $50 and postage is free.

Please dig deep this Australia Day. 100% of all winning bids will be donated to our fellow Australians affected by the Queensland floods via the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.

No Excuse Zone

map australia melbourne No Excuse Zone

We suspect we’re probably preaching to the converted here…

…but we very much like the work of No Excuse Zone.

Based on a series of test rides by landscape architect Mike Harris, zones around the CBDs of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne were mapped to measure the distance a healthy person can ride within half an hour. There are also less detailed maps for bike friendly cities Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen.

The No Excuse Zone maps indicate that really you can get surprisingly quite far in 20-30 minutes. The site suggests that if a person lives within this zone and works in the CBD, they should try cycling to work a few days a week to enjoy the health and environmental benefits of commuting by bike.
