Hi All
I looked at cycling a few years ago and thought the process all too
hard. But my thinking is once again leaning to riding to work.
My route currently goes along the lines of:
Ill be taking the train from cranbourne to Westall or Clayton station
and riding in from there.
I had a number of questions, like; How happy they are for bikes to be
on the train. Ill be heading in around 7pm and home around 4:30 not
quite peak but Im unsure of how many will be on the train to trip over
the bike.

Also interested in the various routes from Westall and or Clayton to
Monash. I found the current MSA bike map. I have a few choices.
Something about a nasty hill on Browns road :) I had thought there was
a bike track on the new Westall road but I cant seem to find mention
of it anywhere. I may need to car it and have a look see.

Im also thinking, "crazy time of year to start riding a bike" I can
recall the freezing numbness of cycling home from school.. even now. I
guess there is better gear around nowadays?

My intention is to ride a few times and alternate with drive so I can
get into the groove with out going cold turkey on the car.

Im assuming the 10x2 hour tickets is the best way to go. Id loose out
if I got a weekly and took a day off and take the car. At least with
the 10x2 I can use at will? Is there a date limit on those 10x2? ie
can I purchase the card use it once then not for two weeks then once
again? Worse case scenario.

Thanks I need input

Mark
