\n\"\"<\/a>3CR invites its listeners and the Melbourne community to Invest in Independence at Radiothon 2012 from 4 – 17 June<\/a>.\u00a0 The station is financially supported by our listening community. This year we are trying to raise $210,000 to cover operating costs.<\/p>\n

Buy your share of the media and donate to 3CR this Radiothon. 3CR\u2019s progressive alternative coverage of social, economic, cultural and political issues has never been more relevant.<\/p>\n

So with that in mind, Faith, Chris, Val & Steve from Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio have planned a extra special program between 10am – 11am on Monday 11th June<\/strong>. It’s the Queens Birthday holiday, so kick back, brew a cuppa or two, have a leisurely start to your holiday and listen to us!<\/p>\n

The Guests<\/strong>
\nWe’ll be interviewing local Melbourne bicycle celebrities Peter Santos from psbikes<\/a> and Joyce from CycleStyle Australia<\/a> as our extra special guests on our 3CR Radiothon program, talking about their love of cycling and what inspires them.<\/p>\n

That’s not all, we have bicycle poetry from Eleanor Jackson<\/a>, \u00a0Steve’s musings on cycling for fun & profit, \u00a0Melbourne bicycle news, bike moments and of course, a discussion of bicycles & politics, since the simple act of riding a bike in Victoria seens to have become quite political of late … so there maybe a few soapboxes or two … not forgetting fun, mirth, bicycle tunes and cycling culture insights.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Giveaway 1:<\/strong>
\nThe lovely people from Allegro Bikes<\/a> have provided the option of one beautiful bicycle<\/strong> from their range. As people come in different sizes and opinions of what they prefer in a bike, the lucky giveaway winner will have the option of either:<\/p>\n

W1 (retail $799): A racier step-through, the W1 combines 7005 aluminum tubing with a cro-moly fork and Shimano drive train to create a nimble, comfortable bicycle for running around town.<\/p>\n

or<\/em><\/p>\n

W3 (retail $799) The robust commuter of the W series. Double-butted cro-moly tubing, cro-moly forks and a Shimano 3 speed nexus hub gear makes the W3 a simple, reliable step-through for scooting across town.<\/p>\n

or<\/em><\/p>\n

City 3 (retail $795): The City 3 is the most affordable of the range, sporting the same frame and forks but with Acera parts. (Racks not included.)<\/p>\n

Giveaway 2:<\/strong>
\nHave a little rider in the family? Or one on the way? psbikes have kindly donated a Byk<\/a>, a Australian ergonomically correct children bike, made in aluminium so it is super light and a lot easier to ride than other children bikes. The giveaway winner has the option of any bike from the ByK range. (Retail price from $200 to $599 depending on what size\/age the child is)\u00a0 See the Byk range at: www.bykbikes.com
