Our popular weekly maintenance workshops, where you can bring your bike along and learn how to fix it (using our tools and the expertise of our volunteers), start in week 1. The first workshop will be on Tuesday 2 March, and they’ll run every week from 12pm-2pm. They’ll be on the raised stage on the Quadrangle Lawn, at the base of the Basser steps. If you know about fixing bikes and would like to help out, come along too! For a few years now, Bicycle Victoria (in association with local councils) has been running a count of cyclists on Super Tuesday. This year it will be held on Tuesday 2 March. If you participate, you’ll give local councils a better idea of how many cyclists are using the roads, giving them more good reasons to invest in cycling infrastructure and programs. You’re also able to nominate a $50 donation from Bicycle Victoria to a local cycling club (like the UNSW Bike Club!). O-Week, the Bike Club’s chance to make itself known to UNSW students, is fast approaching. It will run from Monday 22nd – Friday 26th February. So far the bike club has planned:
We need volunteers for our O-Week stall, so we can share our love of bikes with new students. Do you have some free time during O-Week? We’ll be handing out maps, suggesting routes to new commuters, selling safety accessories, and helping people fix their bikes. There are two volunteer shifts each day: 10am-1pm and 1pm-4pm. Email A fun day was had by all on the Sydney to the Gong ride. If you missed it, keep your ears open for information about upcoming rides – or organise your own, and post it on the forums. Our team raised a massive $4611, of which $1460 was raised by Hanne Bjellaanes. Congratulations on being such a prolific fundraiser! If you’re interested in seeing what it was like, bike club member Martin has put together a video for your enjoyment [link]. Are you looking to learn some more about bikes over the holidays? A second night is starting up at Bike Club (the one in Waterloo), and you’re invited to the first session next Wednesday 18th. We’re going to be focusing on a different topic each week. The first one is about gears, and the second will be about “stayin’ alive”. You can see the schedule, as well as some more info, here. |
