Australia’s capital is better known for its kangaroos and cockatoos than its bike lanes. But this initiative invites cyclists of all ages, abilities, and identities to explore the city riding all types of cycles. The movement, founded by Paris Lord, is gaining momentum by promoting slow tours, safer streets, and options for a more climate-friendly commute. It takes imagination and courage to re-think transportation habits and re-invent infrastructure, but it’s worth it to improve our collective quality of life.

Because a bike is a freedom machine.
