Celebrating fifty plus years with the Melbourne Bicycle Touring Club<\/a>: Faith and Val are joined in the studio on a warm autumn morning by Liz Fowler and Edmund West from Melbourne Bicycle Touring Club<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all share our bike moments before taking a look at some upcoming events including Critical Mass on Friday March 22nd <\/a>(heading Southside with Port Phillip BUG) and a Bicycle Network event<\/a> for those interested in what they can to support active transport during the upcoming Council elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Melbourne Bicycle Touring Club has been celebfrated its fiftieth year and Liz and Ed talk about the community that the club has built over the decades<\/a>, the rides they’ve shared and the future of the club. We talk about the joys of bike touring, how a club like MBTC helps to make it accessible to more people and the diversity of people, and bikes, that enjoy their tours and day trips. You can find out more about the MBTC and their rides from their website.<\/a> Rides are advertised and shared on Meet Up.<\/a> <\/p>\n
