We discuss how the project started,\u00a0short lifespan and waste issues for kids bikes, creating independance, types of bikes<\/a>, upcoming pop ups<\/a>, membership<\/a>, support from Moonee Valley Sustainability<\/a>\u00a0(MVS).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sydney Bike Rave<\/a> organised a fabulous Halloween edition ride, Lime e-bike jousting in London<\/a> is bringing fun, community and artistic violence together, race bikes not horses at the Melburn Cup<\/a>, good news for local active transport infrastructure with a new bridge in Bulleen Road<\/a>, Barkly Street upgrade<\/a> passed at Maribynong Council, Moonee Valley Council funding to make the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail<\/a> safer with fencing and more, and Boroondara Council also voted to proceed with their Greenways Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In no surprise to really no one in the Yarra Council area, the Nicer Wellington Street<\/a> crew notes that temporary Wellington Street works in Clifton Hill blocking the street have not<\/strong> resulted in 10,000 vehicles down side streets as mentioned by a fear-based campaign against the now descoped Wellington Street upgrades<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
