Pedal Power ACT

Pedal Power ACT is the largest cycling organisation in the Australian Capital Territory. More Canberrans cycling, more often, for a better community.

We've raised nearly $7,000 for the bike library. We're so thankful for everyone's support so far. Can you help us get to our next target?

Over 13% of the way there!

We're so excited that in just over a week we've already raised over 15% of our target to keep the Bike Library going. Chip in now to help keep the wheels turning.

We've almost raised $3,500 just in two days to keep the Canberra Bike Library up and running. Could you chip in the next $50 to get us to that mark?

Belconnen is quickly becoming the densest part of Canberra.

But where are the bike lanes?!

Simon from @ACTPedalPower is absolutely on the money here: the ACT Government talks a big game about the active travel and public transport projects, large and small, we need to improve our city. But they're *oh so slow* at delivering them.

Northbourne Avenue is the most dangerous street in Canberra for those riding their bikes. The ACT Government knows this and they could fix if they wanted. But it seems they don't want to.

@HeathRyan16 Yes, we agree! Shortened it too much to get it into one tweet.

[Pedal Power ACT @ACTPedalPower]

New data shows that Australia's road toll has risen 4.6% in the past 12 months. Cycling deaths rose 30.3%, and pedestrian deaths rose 11.3%.

We urgently need to make cycling and walking safer by rolling out safe infrastructure. This will save lives!

When there are literally 0 consequences for parking in bike lanes, this is the result: https://t.co/PomqMh8s2B

A very good list of things we need to do to make our infrastructure more inclusive.

[Pedal Power ACT @ACTPedalPower]

Our first keynofe is from Lisa Stafford, who is talking about how our planning systems have to create inclusive neighbourhoods.

I love the term mobility justice!

I (@SimonCopland, PP Director) am at the Walking and Cycling Conference in Adelaide over the next two days. Not so great at tweeting conferences, but will post some highlights..

A beachfront area in northern Sydney is now a low-speed, pedestrian-friendly street with a two-way cycleway – and 2000 fewer cars each day. https://t.co/Q3QGq52Zdm

[Greater Canberra @GreaterCanberra]

Spot on. Ridiculous that the NCA can afford $16k for heritage assessments on floating saunas but can’t stump up the money for proper pedestrian crossings in the national triangle.
