UNSW Bike Club

Any UNSW women out there who’d like to help fundraise for the Oncology Children’s Foundation, a team “UNSW Girls On The Go” has been organised and is raising money fast! It’s part of the Gear Up Girl program.

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.

Our stall will be on the Quadrangle Lawn, stall #97.

So far the bike club has planned:

• a stall from 10am-4pm every day, where we’ll be giving out info about riding to UNSW, and also selling lights and patch kits (and also some bikes!);

• a Bike Repair Workshop, to be held Wednesday 12pm-2pm on the Quadrangle, at the base of the Basser steps;

• a Bike Ride and Picnic, from UNSW to Milson’s Point, on Friday (leaving UNSW Anzac Pde gates at 6pm).

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 to sign up for one. We need your help so the Bike Club can have another great year! The roster so far is:
