Melanie Brown in the studio at 3CR for Yarra BUG Radio.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

An infectious bike ride<\/a>! Faith and Val are joined in the studio today by Melanie Brown, a nurse from Adelaide who has taken her passion for vaccination and the history of infectious diseases in Australia on an epic ride from Adelaide to Sydney.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We kick off with our bike moments before taking a look at some local news including a great (albeit depressing) long read from the ABC The long road to a bike friendly Australia<\/a>. Serendipitously, Bicycle Network launched a statewide campaign yesterday (together with about 30 community groups including Yarra BUG) arguing for 5% of the Victorian Transport budget to be dedicated to funding Startegic Cycling Corridors. You can check out the campaign and take a look at the different ways to get involved<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion turns to Melanie’s ride, exploring cemeteries between Adelaide and Sydney and the stories they hold of the impact of sometimes forgotten infectious diseases on the communities now buried there. In between cemeteries she has been enjoying the scenery and wildlife. You can follow her adventures as she continues her journey on Instagram @itsinfectious<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finish up with a reminder that the next Critical Mass<\/a> ride is coming up this Friday evening! Bring your lights, ALL of your lights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
