CoM Bike Lanes slashed and the NEW Great Vic Bike Ride<\/a>! Val and Faith are joined in the studio by Alison McCormack, CEO of Bicycle Network<\/a>. We all share our bike moments and consider what appears to be a significant cut to the CoM budget for bike lanes. In light of what everyone agrees is needed to make the CoM a liveable city into the future,<\/a> the cut from $4M to $1.5M <\/a>doesn’t make any sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison McCormack updates us on the new version of the Great Vic Bike Ride, plans for which have just been released. The changes are designed to make the Great Vic more accessible to schools, provide a deeper dive into a region while also giving participants a journey to complete. You can find out more about the Great Vic Bike Ride<\/a> here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
