Sweet! This guys are raising awareness of electric bicycles by riding from Melbourne to Sydney. So, I’m not crazy.

Suitable Transport

Suitable Transport is a simple project to demonstrate the benefits of electric bicycles by exaggeration. While we love conventional bicycles and all of the fantastic benefits they offer, we want to show that electric bicycles might be the way to bring these great benefits to the rest of us - the non athletes, people who get hangovers, and people that just want to get to work.

Stephen Gale, a practical guy (who last rode a bike the day before he gained his drivers licence), will ride from Melbourne to Sydney over eight days while wearing a business suit. He doesn’t plan to break any records, in fact he wants to show just how easy it is.

To make it more fun he has convinced a large number of people to join him - scientists, salesmen, machanics, a lawyer - in fact just about someone from every walk of life - there is even a hair extension facilitator! All will be riding their electric bikes, in their work outfits, from Melbourne to Sydney!
