Run Rabbit ... Run Run Run

I was thinking about how the green agenda means that we should use cars less and more of other kinds of transport - like pushbikes, etc.  And in Sydney there is a significant push for that by the Hon. Clover Moore MP with her cycleways around the inner Sydney areas.

The most obvious things that's done to Sydney has been giving up some of the road ways to cyclists as you can see in these photos.


This is probably a trend that will continue (for good or bad reasons). 

But what if we took this kind of green initiative even further and promoted walking, jogging or running more and handed over the road ways to people (rather than limit them to the footpaths).  You might think it's a bit crazy and unlikely but stranger things have happened.

And if it does it might look a bit like this time lapse video of the runners at the 2010 New York Marathon taking over the roads, bridges and freeways.  It's amazing !!!


See you on the new Sydney running ways to be constructed in 2020.
