Announced in todays paper is that Wayne Goss, the Premier of Queensland
Australia, has started to commute to work on a regular basis by bike.

He travels about 20 KM each way.  Apparently, his fellow politicians are 
very concerned about the risk to his health !!. (Maybe they should do 
something about bike lanes etc  to improve bike safty!!)
(BTW a State Premier is roughly the same as a State Governor in the USA !!).

I travel the same route as him for about 10 KM.  Maybe I'll get a bike lane,
or if  I ride at the same time as him, a police escort yet !!


It is great to see politicans getting involved in cycling .

It will also be of interest to see how long he lasts !.o
