Cycling
One fine holiday while
we were picnicking at a park at Islington in New South Wales in Australia, I
saw a cute little girl cycling to and fro before us attracted my attention, so
I just went nearby her and tried to snap few shots and after few attempts I got
the telling shot. Cycling is slow travelling and popular sport. The Government
in Australia encourages cycling among the denizens and people also abide by the
government rule. I saw most of the people going to their respective working
place by cycle on putting inside trains and ferries. Also saw my son to going
to his office by cycle and asked him about his attires which he was wearing was
not proper for the office. He cleared my doubt that one set of cloths most of
the staff use to keep in their respective office. As there is proper dress code
and helmet is must for cycling.
It is to be cleared that
on each and every roads or highways a proper track is marked at the left side
for cyclists. In Australia it is a common form of transport, recreations and
sport. I also saw people in groups
especially on Saturday or on Sunday cycling in queue. Their thinking is that
cycling is an exercise as well as it prevents traffic congestion air pollution
and good for health.
In Australia Bicycle
arrived in 1860s and as the time passed it also turned into sports, touring and
racing clubs are formed. By the 1890s this form of transport was accessible to
the middle class and people adapted long distant and off roads for cycling and
formed racing clubs by 1887. And by 1990-92 Australia made wearing helmet
compulsory for the riders to avoid head injuries. It is to be mentioned that
adults are bound to cycle in the tracks but children under 13s are allowed to
cycling on footpaths too. Cyclists in every state are allowed to follow the
traffic rules and its lights properly and one person per by cycle unless the by
cycle is designed otherwise.
