		<description><![CDATA[The Long Haul Truckers and Crosschecks offer good platforms for setting up quality touring and commuting bikes.
In this case, a Trucker was chosen as the starting point. The bike will be carrying heavy loads with rear and front panniers plus the bar bag.
The bike will also be used extensively for city riding. By integrating a dynamo lighting system you get light when you need it. The Busch and Müller IQ Fly plus headlight is a headlight we often recommend: &#8216;plus&#8217; means it means includes standlicht, or standlight, (ie: it stays ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday 13th was Ride to Work Day and, as tradition dictates, we celebrated. We teamed up with Darebin Council to provide a pit-stop free
bike fix and grab-a-bite-to-eat quick fix for hungry cyclists in a hurry.
This is where we were located. And here&#8217;s a photo just for fun,
Next year it&#8217;s going to get better again. We&#8217;re dreaming of a coffee cart, full breakfast spread and lounge chairs&#8230; and it looks like it&#8217;s going to happen!
Other news
It&#8217;s been a while since the last HPC super e-newsletter and a lot has happened. Literally.

		<description><![CDATA[Each cyclist has their own requirements and preferences for a bike. This is particularly so for touring bikes for a few reasons (long and frequent periods on the bike, load carrying requirements, terrain and conditions, requirements for high levels of reliability on the Long Haul etc).
The standard Long Haul Trucker is a great starting point for a touring bike, and in this case the customising focused around the cyclist-to-bicycle interface (high bars, different shifter positions, interruptor levers) and touring equipment (front and rear racks, light mounts, pannier bags and handlebar ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

It all started with a sad Shogun Katana road bike in 1980&#8242;s fluro orange. In it&#8217;s previous life it had been given granny gears &#38; been ridden hard on many a Great Vic bike ride.

Now it was time for retirement by the sea. The Surly Spew on frame prep lists linseed oil as a rust preventative for frame tubes. As I had this on hand it was syringed into every orifice, taking about a week to dry into a claggy mess anywhere I hadn&#8217;t been meticulous to clean up.

We got talking and by the time we&#8217;d ridden across to Heidelberg road, he had made a couple of interesting points about cycling and Melbourne that stuck in my mind.
One of these points was mentioning he&#8217;d dropped in to Human Powered a few weeks before hand. &#8220;You guys have got some awesome gear but I wanted to set this one up on the cheap.&#8221; And I ...]]></description>
