The art of free travel : a frugal family adventure, cycling from Daylesford to Cape York
Patrick, Meg and their family had built a happy, sustainable life in regional Victoria. But in late 2013, they found themselves craving an adventure close to the hearts of many Australians: a road trip. But this was a road trip with a difference. With Zephyr (10), Woody (1) and their Jack Russell Zero, they set off on an epic 6,000km year-long cycling journey along Australia's east coast, from Daylesford to Cape York and back. Their aim was to live as cheaply as possible - guerrilla camping, hunting, foraging and bartering their permaculture skills, and living on a diet of free food, bush tucker, and the occasional fresh road kill. They joined an anti-fracking blockade, spent time in Aboriginal communities, documented edible plants along the way, and braved the country's most hazardous highways. The Art of Free Travel is the remarkable story of a rule-breaking year of ethical living.

Media Release: City of Sydney
\"[BikeWise] has helped thousands of people to enjoy the benefits of riding in Sydney,\" the Lord Mayor said. \"BikeWise is an example of a truly community minded business, donating time for school programs and offering support to other businesses that are keen to get staff riding. By promoting the use of cargo bikes as a means of transport in both the corporate world and wider community, they are helping make bike riding a practical alternative. \"The bike lanes are helping people to realise that it's a great way to get around, and the fact that Sydney support a business like BikeWise shows what a rich sector bike businesses are becoming.\"

Reaching Reluctant Readers (aka Books for Boys)
Teen author Laurie Halse Anderson says, \"Teens are not 'reluctant' readers; they are 'discriminating' readers.\" [...]the real problem is most boys (and yes I know I am stereotyping here) will not go searching for a book they will enjoy; they often don't believe they will find a book they like because they have bought into the propaganda that boys don't read, or they have been force-fed outdated classics for years and have long ago given up. [...]there is Andy, an actor who dreams of making it big; he is also the accidental catalyst for all three of the other boys as life changes quickly and dramatically. [...]Harmon's first novel is a gritty, true and realistic story that often is overlooked in our society. [...]Asher has written one of the most provocative debuts in teen literature, a novel that should be required for all teens.
