AUSBIKE 2012 PHOTOS

We went and check out the AB2012 expo at Carlton Exhibition Building, over the weekend, the big guns (literally) wheeled out the best of the best.Plenty of ogiling and big powerball win dream sequences going through the minds of the masses… I really liked the vintage bikes and choppers sections…

BRONZED BIFFO

A statue of Zidane's famous head-butt on Marco Materazzi by sculptor Adel Abdessemed has been placed in the courtyard of the Pompidou Center in Paris. Could this be the best statue ever made? who can say. Does it open the door for a statue of Scarlo smashing Hayden Ballantyne down at the Cattery or perhaps one of Barry Hall king hitting Brent Staker out front of the SCG? Violence captured in bronze. Hard to see the AFL (or any code for that matter) going down that path. Vive La France.

Time to update the lampshade?

CONCEPT BIKE

Can't help but think of the Southpark bike when I see this…
(you know the one. No? search images for it)
Interesting ideas but lacks the style, grace and practicality of a regular bike you'd have to think.

1912 - 2012 Satchel Ride.

“In 1909 and again in 1912, a relay race was held to prove how effective a bicycle would be in helping to transmit a military dispatch across the country in times of national emergency. The relay race had cyclists carrying a satchel with a document from Adelaide – through Melbourne – and onto Sydney. There were over 60 relay points where pairs of cyclists took over from each other and managed the entire 1148 miles (over 1800 km) in just over 69 hours! In the second running, cyclists were racing motor bikes and motor cars. On handicap, the cyclists won by several hours! We have found the original satchels and even a medal awarded to a member of the relay team but now we are seeking to retrace the original relay points and create a commemorative route for current and future generations to explore and also better understand the role of the many towns along the route and the amazing cyclists who made history! We have already reconnoitred the first half to Melbourne and will soon do the rest. This video tries to capture some of the moments along the route. An extended version of the video is going into production soon. Would you like to know more or be kept informed of developments? Write to us at info@go-alliance.net”
