Building Social Capital

I've recently moved from an inner city cosmopolitan 24hr neighbourhood to suburbia. I'm keen to stay and try to build social capital. No community gardens, plenty of bikehaters, commuter culture, big shopping malls, no obvious green activism! I'm beginning at my back door Anyone with experience or new approaches like to share their views?

Electric bicycle commuting Part 1

I'm testing an electrically assisted bicycle for the first time over 3 months of Sydney city wide commuting and riding to meetings. Having looked at Chinese brands I've chosen a German made Panther  777 which is a higher quality bike with higher end components. So far after a week's use I'm cycling further faster and feeling different muscle groups responding.
