PENNY Lewis is part of Perth’s cycling revolution.

As Joondalup has been preparing to host Friday night’s leg of the Perth Criterium Race series, the 25-year-old has been leaving her Landcruiser behind each day and riding the 45km to work at Joondalup Health Campus from Cloverdale.

The pathology laboratory assistant and mother of a four-year-old son has regularly cycled to work since June last year on her $2500 road bike.

“It takes me about an hour and a half to get to work. I ride on the hard shoulder-cycling lane of Tonkin and Reid highways to Carine, then get on the cycleway to Joondalup,” she said.

“I don't always ride all the way home. If I finish work late I get the train to Perth and ride from there. Occasionally I race mountain bikes and want to try |road racing soon.”
