[bikeqld] SE Qld transport coping with Peak Oil and Climate Change

[Scott Rowan]

I went along. Definitely very much a pro-sustainable transport crowd and
some good presentations. Barry Broe mentioned that cycle use was up 75% in
Brisbane last year. He didn't seem to make any distinction between
recreational cycling and commuting though.

Video of all the presentations and slides can be viewed at the links below
(Windows media player format required).
