As part of these SLU will replace parts of the damaged fence adjacent to the freeway and lay asphalt over the existing path.

The program is currently looking for new tutors, and I thought some of you might be interested. I\u2019ve been tutoring in the program for a couple of years now and recommend it very highly \u2013 watching someone pedal for the first time is an incredibly exciting feeling, and is a very practical way to share the love of bike riding with people who otherwise might not experience it. So far my students have ranged from people in their late teens\/early twenties, to women in their 60s.<\/p>\n<p>Each learner receives 3 separate one-on-one sessions with a volunteer tutor. Tutors let Jika Jika know when they are available, and Jika Jika then pairs them with students accordingly. Volunteers will receive training in the program\u2019s teaching method. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Max Sargeant on 9482 5100 or email max[AT]jikajika.org.au<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9297\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-376-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/podcast.3cr.org.au\/pod\/3CRCast-2009-09-14-67641.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/podcast.3cr.org.au\/pod\/3CRCast-2009-09-14-67641.mp3\">http:\/\/podcast.3cr.org.au\/pod\/3CRCast-2009-09-14-67641.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/podcast.3cr.org.au\/pod\/3CRCast-2009-09-14-67641.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"3CRCast-2009-09-14-67641.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 29:22 &#8212; 13.5MB) | <a href=\"#\" class=\"powerpress_link_e\" title=\"Embed\" onclick=\"return powerpress_show_embed('376-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_embed_box\" id=\"powerpress_embed_376-podcast\" style=\"display: none;\"><input id=\"powerpress_embed_376-podcast_t\" type=\"text\" value=\"&lt;iframe width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;30&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/www.yarrabug.org\/radio\/?powerpress_embed=376-podcast&amp;amp;powerpress_player=mediaelement-audio&quot; title=&quot;Blubrry Podcast Player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\" onclick=\"javascript: this.select();\" onfocus=\"javascript: this.select();\" style=\"width: 70%;\" readOnly><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week Val and Chris speak to Nik Dow about cyclists being fined by City of Melbourne rangers and the police for riding through Carlton Gardens.
