Lawyers on bikes

National Ride to Work Week is happening on Wednesday 13 October and I’ve already registered myself with Bicycle Victoria for this year’s ride and events at Federation Square.

Coincidentally on the same day as I submitted my registration I came across this fantastic article over at Cyclelicious in the Washington Post about a law firm that’s started a bike share program for its employees. With city bike share programs just starting to launch around Australia (Melbourne‘s only a week or so ago, Brisbane in September), maybe other companies in Australia will be inspired to start a smaller scale bike share program themselves, just like Nixon Peabody.

And as a former paralegal/lackey who was responsible for carting documents all over town, I know that I would’ve loved  to have been able to hop on a bike to get myself to court faster.
