So what does a bike shed got to do with running. It is like a fish needs a bicycle. I personally think cycling is the best form of cross traiing for runners. Why, is is less stress on the knees. Get a good worksout without giving much stress on the heart. Can do it stationary bike or anywhere. It is frees as beer other than spending few moolas to get the freedom machine.
Now the Bike Hut at the CERES(Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies) and it is a community environment park. Where it is. It is based in sunny Melbourne- Australia and exact location is East Brunswick by the awesomely beautiful and ever flowing Merry Creek. It is heaven on earth. If you have agypsie heart, this is one of those places to be. If i can close your eyes and imagine what the Hobit Village in this day in age looks like. Weeeell this is it. It has lots of organicaly grown vegitable farms. People selling them all over the place. Organic retaurants, organinc clothig, organic frigin everything under the sun. So if you are an organinc sort of person no doubt you would like this. Only thing is you would get ant Wide Screen, HDTV LCD LED DVD ADHD WTF TVs in this place. It is a down to earth experience for all you wonderful peoples.
So the bike hut is part of this. They recycle the bikes and let the masses ride a pushie for the minimum cost. This joint bike heaven. Bikes galore. Bike everywhere. They have a arch made out from bike wheels. You would get Lance Armstrong sort of bikes here. But you can get a aetrage decenet bike for no cost. There are voultiers giving you advice how to fix the bikes. Tools are free to use. A membership is $10 for year if you are interested. Only cost is the parts and even they are cheap as chips. You can help your self for thousands of bkes and feel free to rip them apart to your wish as long as you pay for the parts.
Soon as i saw this place i knew this is a my kind of place. It just feels right to recycle bikes, rather than usning to fill junk dumps. Atleast some peron get to use an anwnted bike. All people work here are here to share a pashion like pashion fruit. I guess they use the proceeed to improve the awareness of bike riding and maintain the place.
What else can i tell you about the place. So my experence. I went there to buy couple of bike wheels as both bikes i have, had twisted back wheels. It is that my 3 hour bike ride to work and my stupid moves on bike paths may have caused them to twist and shout. Im like Come on, come on, come on, baby now...... have to get this bikes fixed. So they have separate section for bike wheels. A sea of wheels and jump right in to get what i want. So the the gentlmen who was in chargeIf you prefer a mechanic do all the work for you then it is best to go to any other bike shops. said i should chose an aluminum wheel and he is truly right. Cost for two near brand new wheel $15. It woudnt get reasonable than that. So lovely people if you want to get your bike fixed, place to be is where else but Bike Hut.
