I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike
…and now you can. The recently launched Melbourne Bike Share scheme has these spunky cobalt blue two wheelers dotted all over the CBD, just waiting for your bottom – plump or boney – to nestle itself on the amply comfy seat.
Over the next few months, the roll-out plan will see 600 bikes available across 50 stations in Melbourne’s city. Check out the website for locations and pricing. One wee (or not-so-wee) drawback is that you’ll need to bring your own helmut, which, admittedly could be a drag if you’re renting Apartment Alkira, our short stay apartment and you’re coming from Switzerland (something of a drag on the plane).
