One of my coworkers in my department is a cyclist. Having two of us in there is a bit of a novelty for me ... I'm usually the only cyclist. And then, just this week, another one of my coworkers bought bicycles for himself and his wife, and he was talking about a ride he was planning this weekend. Not only that, but both my bosses are apparently on the verge of buying bicycles too.

But I'm also seeing a lot more people on bicycles in this area of Australia in general than I saw in Canada. I'm not so sure that the popularity of cycling has increased that much in Canada, but it certainly seems quite popular here.
