The City of Perth is in the process of developing a Cycle Plan for the City and during August 2010, the City of Perth received over 1200 responses to it’s initial public consultation survey for the development of the Plan.
The City will be providing examples of the types of feedback that were received on its bicycle plan website.
The City has advised that the results of the survey, input from stakeholders, and other information, will be used to write the draft Cycle Plan and the public will then have another opportunity to comment on the activities included in the Plan.
It is envisaged that this document will reflect the City’s strategic direction, including objectives and targets for cycling in Perth and is supported by;
the development of a Strategic Network
best practice Land Use Planning principles
improved Infrastructure and Safety
increased End-of-Trip facilities
identified opportunities for Integrated Transport Programs and Projects
high quality Education and Training
effective Encouragement and Promotion activities
Interested readers can be kept informed with developments by signing up to the City of Perth’s consultation list. Just click here to be taken to the City of Perth’s Bicycle Plan website and then scroll down for the sign-up section.
k Wallenda, a seventh-generation high-wire daredevil, safely cycled more than 100 feet along a wire some 260 feet above the ocean, without a safety net. He did it in the Bahamas, and Guinness will have to verify if he broke his own record. (August 28, 2010)
The Garmin Edge 800 is coming. The word on the street is the Australian release will be late October/early November if not later but in time for Christmas for sure. Funny that .
The Department of Transport’s Bikewest unit has advised that the map, Ride from Midland to Perth has been updated. The map is a strip style route map which outlines the route from the Perth CBD out to Midland CBD or reverse. Interested readers can download a PDF copy of the map from the Department of Transport website.
I purchased my first pair of SealSkinz Thermal Liner Gloves in September 2009 from Probikekit (PBK) for a landed cost of AU$11.50 with the intention of using them as a dry weather winter riding glove here in Perth, Western Australia where we have relatively mild winters (no snow for example). This review reflects my usage of the gloves over an approximate four month period, aka the BackpackGearTest.org approach.
