I went for a long bike ride yesterday and part of it went along Armidale's bike path that runs alongside Dumaresq Creek from the town centre to the University of New England. Imagine my surprise when I saw that our local council had installed solar powered lighting along much of the route. I suppose that some riders use the path at night, although I myself have never ridden after dark. I suspect, however, that I'll now give it a try.
I apologise if you thought this message was about the use of solar power to propel bikes in real-time!
Here are some pictures of the path, its surrounds, and the light-poles with their solar panels. By the way, yesterday, when the pictures were taken, was Wattle day ... the first day of Spring. And the weather played along nicely - not a cloud in the sky and a maximum of 18 C (nearly 65 F). However, the many deciduous trees have yet to spout their leaves.

Cool improvements! Make sure you get some decent lights for your bike (front and back) if you're planning to ride at night, Dad!
