Article Abstract:

Rail trails provide the best tracks for bicyclists around the world. They began in the US, but rail trails are becoming a world wide movement. Beside their recreational aspects, rail trails bring much business to towns because cyclists often need food, water, lodging, clothes, equipment, and transportation to bring them back home.

It has been treated so that it will last thousands of years, and a special 8m-long box, like a great coffin, is under construction, so that the tapestry can go on tour around Australia.
