Our six program presenters are Sonya, Chris, Val, Steve, Rob and Emma and we intend YarraBUG Radio to promote urban cycling as a viable means of transport; promote Yarra’s cycling conditions; demystify cycling technology; and help reveal the diversity of cyclists around from children, to commuters, to lobbyists. YarraBUG Radio will encourage people to join in the sheer fun of bicycle riding and to also raise awareness in sustainable transport issues. We would like our show to be for everyone – cyclists or not and we would love non-cyclists to be in our audience. YarraBUG Radio is based in the inner suburbs of Abbotsford, Alphington, Burnley, Carlton North, Clifton Hill, Cremorne, Collingwood, Fairfield, Fitzroy, Fitzroy North Princess Hill and Richmond.
