''I didn't think that would happen,'' said cyclist Joe Patamisi, who made it to Federation Square from Tarneit in just over an hour.
''It's probably a bit embarrassing that we can have somebody [on a bike] beating public transport or even a car into town over 30 kilometres.''

Now imagine if just a fraction of the roads budget were directed to making the bike infrastructure decent and safe. Even more cyclist would leave their car at home. This would improve congestion on the roads so canceling the need for hugely expensive and pointless road expansion.
