AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Wheels Friday #14 ~ Swedish Bicycles on a Van!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This van was parked outside Bittern railway station.
I found it strange that a van advertised Swedish bicycles in Melbourne.
It was like one mode of transport advertising another.
When I checked Kronan's website, I found that these bicycles were originally used by infantry and were adapted to town cycling - as opposed to their counterpart mountain bikes.
Kronan also makes prams!
~

Bike riding freedom
Small spaces accessible
Open air pleasure

Wheels Friday #13 ~ Forgotten Wheels!
