auscyclefan94 said:the fact that the Lord Mayor is the mayor of Melbourne means that it would be kind of silly of him hosting an event not in the area where he is the mayor. Don't be silly. Melbourne CBD is a central place so it is rather logical that you would have it in the city. The only reason Doyle was at the event is because the event was held there. Again, if the event was planned to be held in the bayside areas he wouldn't turn up.
silly me. silly to think that a good idea for promoting something like greenedge would be to go where you can guarantee a crowd of fans. better to have a fat guy in a robe and necklace hey? i think you've spectacularly missed my point - that for all doyle's lip-service to cycling (and if you lived and commuted here you'd know all about it) he is not going to mean squat to greenedge compared to the 10,000 or so down beach road every saturday morning.
