• ACT Policing on bike security and road safety;
• Pedal Power ACT on rider insurance, social rides, and way-finding by bike;
• Safety gear and know-how from Trek Bikes Australia and our local Phillip store;
• and some great shared experiences from two local women who have discovered the joy of bike riding.

• anyone can ride a bike
• Canberra is a great place to work with an excellent path network
• ensure you can be seen with good lights and hi-vis/reflective gear
• there's a lot of support available (see resources and links below)
• you don't need to be an athlete or have any background in physical activity to start riding
• you can ride through winter if you have the right gear!
• it's ok to ride part-way - drive-part way and commute by bike the remainder and/or make use of our bus network

What was abundantly clear is that bicycles change lives!

Please continue to share your stories, inspire each other, and reach out to others for support and assistance along the way – including myself. I look forward to continuing to do some great work in this space and will continue to keep you posted.
