You could perhaps give a 'Dissertation on the differences in cycling between Australia and other countries'. Just put all these pictures in a PowerPoint presentation and say "why not here?" for each one. There is no valid answer to that question other than 'barriers in the head'.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412247742128741823noreply@blogger.com
