Riding and Culture along the beaches of Northern NSW

Perhaps noteworthy how social pressures affect cycling.  Just had a brief time along the beaches from Tweed Heads (northern border of NSW) to Byron Bay.  Everyone seems to be riding the beach cruiser style bike with no helmets.  Often a separate bike track alongside the road linking the towns without the fanfare of naming or fancy signs.  A bike shop that only sold the cruisers.  Only the occasional roadie in sight. Saw a few riding the freeway in the bicycle lane (oops technically Pacific…See More
