the Slow Schlepper
About Me
- the Slow Schlepper
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Having spent most of my working life at sea, as a sailor in the merchant marine,I have recently come ashore for a second go as a land lubber.The first time I was retrenched due to the GFC and I went back to sea on the Bass Strait ferries .Three years later,here I am. My job as a cargo super involves a company car and a small amount of driving around, which I try to keep to a minimum. This blog is my view of the world from the saddle and also a diary of my passion for old, steel framed French treadlies.

Indeed. But I've never claimed that the bike industry was green, only bike riding is. (Sort of. Until you have to replace the parts.)
Well played.
Ian,
I suppose the bikes from those boxes are going to big-box retailers? I don't know bikes built in Oz. Are there many local brands?
Thanks for the thought provoking post!
Paz :)
Hey,don't worry! You'll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
PS:Chandra~ calculations will only be from China outbound. Only a fraction of bikes are made in Australia.
California Bikes This cruiser also has a forward pedaling desigen, meaning the pedals are shifted four inches forward to allow for better leg extension and more open and comfortable seating postiion.
