Sydney University - hardly leadership material in cycling department

(Cycling towards Sydney University from Glebe)


(Walking towards Sydney University through Victoria Park)


(Whoa! - the heavy hand of USYD bike-patrol)


(...looks like a good deal though!!)


(Sum total of bike parks outside the Fisher Library - TRULY RULY!!)


(Sum total of bike parks outside School of Chemistry - woeful!)


Founded in 1850, the University of Sydney is the oldest university in Australia...

...& for their 31,634 full-time undergraduate & 16,141 graduate students, the University of Sydney provides 7 bike hoops outside the School of Chemistry and 8 outside the Fisher Library! There are a few more dotted around the campus but none of any note.

Sigh!...methinks this sorry state of affairs could be worthy of a few chuckles in East Anglian ovaltines...

  1. Sydney University looks so very much more tidy and superior in contrast to the chaos and disarray evident at Cambridge -- disgraceful!
