Access to river bike paths is one of the reasons why Maylands is a cool place to live

and recently ranked one of the coolest suburbs in australia from lonely planet - thewest.com.au/news/perth/lonely-planet-guide-ranks-perths-maylands-among-the-three-coolest-neighbourhoods-in-australia-ng-b88662466z

Great video, thanks. I used to cycle everywhere in the 90's before I left High School and got a car, now I hardly ever cycle. Hoping to get back into it, but having a 20kg mountain bike isn't very good. I also live in Maylands, attempted the East Perth Bridge to Garrett Rd Bridge loop, took me nearly 90 minutes and I was completely shattered afterwards, including a sore bottom lol. Hoping to swap it for a proper road bike, but nothing too fancy, so it'll motivate me into getting back into cycling. This video is an inspiration to me, and I hope to be able to do the same trip as well as you have done. Thanks :)

we all start from somewhere, In 2004 i got back on a bike after a long time off of it, also a heavy mountain bike, I don't think i made it even 100m from the house before needing to stop and dry wrench on all fours. before long I was cycling 65km loops around the river as well as riding to work. Thats currently dead now since i changed jobs and i refuse to tend with the trucks on Alexander drive. Gotta get back into it.

vivifyer Just send you a message mate :)

[@Barnzey000]

Same here mate! I'm just getting back into cycling here in Sydney. Same boat as you, got a great Giant Boulder MTB but it's heavy and not great riding on the road. I did a ~30km ride the other day and was shattered too. Also hoping to get a proper road bike in the coming months. They're expensive though.

[@MaxRandall]

28 km/h - I could've sworn you were going a lot faster than that! ;)

[@vivifyer]

116 km/h going by the video :P

[@slowmente]

very nice mate! i use to ride the same course, it's my favourite, and watching at your video i discovered a nice variant. thanks

[@vivifyer]

haha and this was a quiet day, nearly no one around :P Perth is defiantly one of the most awesome Australian cities to cycle in. LP misses you :P

[@vivifyer]

awesome :)

[@MokshaDolphin]

Some beautifully segregated paths and it seems like you weren't slowed down by using them at all!
