Safety promo

Your input is invited for a potential safety promotion.

It is in our employers interests that we get to and from work safely, and they are happy to support us in this regard.

I invite your ideas for such a promotion. What would you like to participate in, what sort of advice would you like to hear, what skills do you want to work on, and what items do you think would improve your safety on the road? And are you aware of anyone who may be able to provide these sorts of products and services?

Your feedback and any ideas are most appreciated.

Pedal Update feature

The BISA 'Pedal Update' editor wants us to be first BUG featured in their newsletter. Your input is needed:

Hi Ryan and friends,
I have been re-elected to the position of Chair of BISA. before you all start the 3 cheers business I must say there wasn't a lot of competition! However that doesn't mean that I'm not taking the role as seriously as ever! To cap off the madness I have also taken on the role of Peedal Update editor. I figured it was only a short step beyond what seems to be my role as 'lead author'!
It's in the editor role that I write to ask the following:
- I would really like to have a semi-regular feature in which readers can hear from the various BUGs that have been set up around the place. I'd like to start with the Waite BUG if possible. What I'd really like is:
- a little story - maybe around 300 words of so - telling us how you got started, as individual riders and as a group, what your inspirations and aims have been, what you have achieved or the benefits you have noticed from coming together as a BUG, what having a BUG at work means (ie; formal, informal etc).
- 1 or 2 photos of cycling activity at the Waite (someone riding in etc), BUG members, parking and car pooling facilities or initiatives etc
- something about what it took to set up your really great Waite BUG Blog! I'd really like to see something similar for every BUG in Adelaide!

I'm looking forward to your input.

Cornish bike racks

At long last, the bike racks in the Cornish under croft have been installed.

A special thanks to the staff in the Cornish building for giving up two parking spaces. We can now accommodate up to 18 bikes where once only two cars could park, plus we have opened up the entrance to the building.

Thanks also to Toney Hirnyk for installing the racks, and Keith Fernandez and CLW for helping with the funds.

Please make use of these racks rather than clogging up office space or chaining your bikes to fences.

Bike Friday

Bike Friday is on the 29th.

Join us for breakfast at the Highgate coffee shop on Fullarton Rd at 8am.
