For simple, short distance transportation needs, the bicycle is a wonderful solution. Look around at the burgeoning cycle infrastructure, testament to a ground swell of awareness and support for the bicycle as a significant contributor to our future transport needs. Everywhere local government is providing cycle routes and dedicated parking to facitilate the use of the bike for local transportation. And it makes such good sense. Getting around is no longer such a drain on our resources, nor so dependent on the lottery of traffic flow, there are health and financial benfits. The cycle industry is reflecting this change and we are showcasing a variety of ingenious ideas for family and utility transportation.
