Bike Pooling on the way to Work

Due to overcrowding on Perth's bike paths we started bike pooling on the trandem. We even got the occasional smile from the more awake commuters.

Breakfast in Cott

A few snaps from our trip down to Cottesloe for a swim in the sea and fried food. Rachel and Michelle escorted us on their tandem.
