Bicycle Network is again undertaking its bicycle count in March, collecting data that will help inform improvements for bike riders. There are sites in the Willoughby and Hornsby Councils areas in particular where volunteers are needed to count cyclists and other active transport users. 
the aim is to record volumes, gender, and movement flow of people on bikes and e-scooters.
What is needed: People to count bikes at the local survey sites for 2-hours. When: 7am-9am Tuesday 3rd March Why: Receive a $70 donation per site counted.
The data collected contributes to the local council improving conditions for bicycle riders, and we need counters to fill the survey locations.

Newcastle – Not So Big Day Out

What our lads got up to in Newcastle.

The sights they visited, the cakes they ate
and the discoveries they made.
Some great photos as well.

Our newest Ride Leader

Malcolm Wade has recently passed his assessment ride, but this is a little different.
Malcolm was previously a Bike North Ride Leader
but as happens to many of us, life got in the way for a few years.
With retirement approaching Malcolm decided to take it up again. 
Welcome back Malcolm.
