On 'Super Tuesday' BV will be coordinating Australia's largest ever bikecount. Between 7-9am on Tuesday 6 March, 90 count sites will be active across inner Melbourne.

The Inner Melbourne Action Group (IMAP) have asked us help them get a better understanding where riders go and where the priorities lie in their bike network.

If you would like to help provide evidence of the current bike riding boom please register here.

If you haven't done it before, counting is a lot of fun and these days you will be kept busy marking your sheet!

Once you have registered, a site will be allocated to you and we will send you an information pack and a unique, once only, limited edition Super Tuesday t-shirt to wear on the day (and after). Also, counters that are members of a recognised community bike riding organisation will be able to nominate that group to receive $50.

The 90 sites are in City of Melbourne, Yarra, Port Phillip and Stonnington (west of Kooyong Rd).

Sounds like a great idea... is there any chance of the $50 going towards the fundraising for Murray to Moyne teams do you think?

cheers,

BUGs and Clubs were chosen, partly cos it bolsters them and also if they are strong and involved in such initiatives councils/agencies will take them (even) more seriously and possibly turn to them for help in future.

thanks, fair enough too :-)

Well, if the M2M donation isn't possible I'll renominate...

thanks!

I was thinking that myself... we should all aim to pass as many counters as possible. I wonder if they'll count us twice if we roll back over them??? 😉

Only 3 days ago i went to Bicycle Victoria to volunteer to help them out as i have been here for 3 months now looking for work and have nothing to do (apart from ride my bike i suppose...) and they said they had nothing available!

😕 😕

communication breakdown??
