It is nice to cycle from my home to my workplace, as well as healthy and gets my blood flowing. Mandurah is particularly scenic.
There is a lot of scenery to admire, both natural and man made - mostly a combination of the two.
Scott Street and Allnutt Street have cycle lanes but elsewhere I cycle on the vehicle tarmac to the left. Some roads, like Park Road, are wide enough to allow cars to pass while staying in the same lane but most are not. Where there is a path, cycling may cause conflict with pedestrians so I normally prefer the road. I would argue that generally speaking, the contribution cyclists make to a healthier, cleaner society outweighs any inconvenience caused.
At Gordon Road is a pedestrian bridge with attractive landscaping. The gum tree is so close to the bridge you can touch it! Also notice the pink and grey galah that found the bridge to be a convenient perch. I am able to see my home from the bridge.
I also enjoy the path going along the backs of the houses, particularly the archway formed by trees. The bridge is mostly covered by a she-oak tree.
And finally, the pond. Before I could fit through the gap between the stone wall and the mesh fence, but I would have to lose a lot of weight to do that now. Let's get cycling to burn that fat!
