The Life-Sized City Blog: Link Roundup and Dreams on Wheels

Having a look at my inboxes I realised that I'd better do a link round-up quicksmart. Thanks to everyone who sends us links and tips. Here goes.

DREAMS WHEEL INTO MELBOURNE


First of all, the Dreams on Wheels Exhibition on Danish bike culture wrapped up in Brisbane and is now heading on a tailwind to Melbourne. Rightly so. Melbourne is the Australian city that is doing the most for bike culture. Melbournians can see the free exhibition at The Atrium, Fed Square from 12-19 August 2008.

Can somebody please take lovely photos at the exhibition - especially of the posters that feature my photos?! :-) More on the Danish Embassy website here.
