Wouldn't you know it - I choose to take pics of my commute on the only overcast day we've had for weeks.

About a kilometre into my 13.5 km journey.

I guess the tales of Aussies being upside down are false. You're SIDEWAYS

Another shot of bitumen.

I see you turned the picture for the rest of us LOL

And looking back from the same place.

More bitumen.

And more! (Getting exciting isn't it?)

Here's the start of the cycleway that opened a few months ago. It runs next to the railway line.

If you don't want to ride all the way you can lock your bike in one of these lockers and then take the train. These lockers are at most train stations around Perth.

On the left is the road I used to ride on. On the right is the train track.

The intersection on the right used to be a real pain. The cycleway was built as a bridge over the top so I don't have to stop at lights any more.

Who needs to cross busy roads when they build cycleway tunnels right underneath them?

This view of the city is on my right as I head to work in East Perth.

I pass the new East Perth redevelopment on my way into work.

And then head uphill to work.

The sky was much brighter when I headed for home. This is the Hyatt Hotel opposite work.

Back up the small hill.

Here's more of the East Perth redevelopment with the city in the background.

And the section I showed you before looks a lot nicer in sunshine.

Railyards with the city in the background.

Back onto the cycleway.

Back to suburbia.

It's certainly not the most picturesque journey but it gets me to work and back.

I'll have to do a few trips around Perth and show you the beautiful side. I'll get some pics from the Swan River that runs alongside the city and of Kings Park that overlooks the city.

And Raiyn - you must have got to see my first photo for the 30 seconds it was up before I realised I'd posted it sideways. I always said you were quick.

Sure did Media.

Nice! Its a good ride. Its not too much different than mine if I were to go the direct route. But you do have that nice path. So you guys drive on the left and ride bikes on the path on the right??
