Ride to Work day
Wednesday 14 October 2009 is National Ride to Work Day, a day to celebrate cycling.
Across Australia, work places and community groups will host Ride to Work Day breakfasts to reward people who choose the healthy commute.
Last year Moreland City Council hosted a community breakfast in Victoria Mall which attracted around 100 cyclists. This year is going to be even bigger with community breakfasts in three locations across Moreland.
1. Capital City Trail: Velo Bike Hub – Cnr Nicholson Street and Capital City Trail
If you head down Nicholson Street or the back streets of Brunswick East, be sure to stop at the breakfast by Moreland City Council and Velo Bike Hub on the Capital City Trail, just near the intersection of Nicholson Street.
Stop for a muffin and coffee and chat to Council staff or one of the friendly Velo Bike Hub crew.
Over 700 cyclists pass through the Capital City Trail and Nicholson Street intersection on their way to work each day so this breakfast is bound to be a big one.
2. Commuter Cycles: 14 Prentice Street, Brunswick
If you live in Brunswick and head down the Upfield path to get to work, the closest breakfast site is at Commuter Cycles, on Prentice Street between Victoria and Albert Streets, just behind Brunswick Railway station.
Enjoy breakfast, chat to the staff about upcoming bike events and have your bike looked at by one of their mechanics.
If you need to leave your bike for a full service, ask about one of their courtesy bikes.
3. Victoria Mall, Coburg
If you live in Coburg or head down the Upfield path north of Bell Street, visit the main Council breakfast site in Victoria Mall.
We’ll be serving up a healthy breakfast and expect around 100 cyclists to stop, enjoy a pastry, fruit and a cup of coffee.
Come chat to Council staff about how we can improve cycling in your area. We are particularly interested in what Council can do to help encourage cycling in the northern parts of the municipality and want to include your suggestions as part of the Moreland Bike Plan Review
All sites have Moreland TravelSmart Maps available and information about choosing the right bike.
