I'm writing a book about cycling in Perth, to be published in spring 2010, and I am looking for people to interview - or stories and photos to run, if anyone fancies writing articles themselves.
It will be called Velo-City: Perth and will be an appreciation of Perth and cycling and how well they go together, but I don't want it to just be me banging on about it, so I really want to get as many people into the book as possible. I'm looking for a wide range of stuff, from people's stories about how they got into cycling; to their beefs about infrastructure (or delight at a favourite bit of PSP); experience with insurance companies.
Perhaps you have thoughts you like to share about:
- Helmet wearing
- Red lights – is it ever better to not wait for the green?
- Uses for old tubes
- Cures for numb toes or saddle sores
- Favourite coffee shops
- Favourite pre-ride and mid-ride snacks
- Bell ringing – communication tool or annoyance?
- Experiences at the mass participation events
If you don't want to write a whole piece about, say helmet laws, or the freeway ride, you could just put your main thoughts in bullet points, or even give me a one liner that sums it up.
On the side panel of this blog are some other suggestions – it’s a bit like a shopping list at the moment, so excuse the lack of structure.
I love this bike and would urge any bikers out there who haven't given a trials bike a go to do so, you won't regret it,Bikes Perth
