News, stories, reviews, and other weird things. All bike related... or at least related to my life, which is mostly bike related.

I had one expectation about this blog and that was to give daily, or almost daily, updates about my bike ride. However, upon eventually writing my first entry after arriving in Australia I decided that quality of content was a better idea than quantity of updates. My laziness and the lack of reliable wi-fi also contributed to this decision. Frequent updates would just cause you, the reader, to be

I forgot to include a few photos about my day off in Merimbula. Not much to talk about. I wandered around with my camera for a few hours one day and this is what I came up with: There it is. Now you are up to speed. I should also take this opportunity to point out that I did begin to travel towards the Penguin Parade this afternoon only to be faced with a large thunderstorm. Having seen this

As a proud Canadian traveling abroad, I feel it is appropriate to begin this blog post with an apology. I apologize for not having posted for nearly three weeks! I suppose I'm a slow writer and this biking every day for most of the day leaves me little time to share my stories with you readers. Also, I have had to perform calming breathing exercises quite regularly because of how difficult it has

I find myself comparing things I see here in Sydney to things in Vancouver or Canada in general. Sydney and Vancouver share many parallels: they are both coastal, cosmopolitan, have both hosted Olympic Games, and have a young but rich history. Don't be fooled; my reminiscing about Vancouver does not mean that I am already home-sick... quite the contrary! I am discovering a beautiful new city at

Working out of town has offered some challenges to the preparation of my trip to Australia. Although I was working far from home, the magic wonders of the Internet have allowed me to prepare many important items such as purchasing plane tickets, purchasing travel insurance, researching routes and so on. However, fantastically wondrous technology aside, there are many items that can't be done at

First off: "What is Riding on the Wrong Side (ROTWS)?" Like many other bloggers, I chose to start a blog since it is the best way to share whatever I have to say in a totally unedited and unrevised manner to the entire planet. More specifically, to those with computers, internet access and who can read English. However, I hope to pique interest in readers since I will be writing about, and
