Faith and Val are joined in the studio by Andrew Talati of Neighbourly Ride and we all share our bike moments. We talk about the shambolic Yarra Council meeting last week and the decision affecting the Elizabeth Street bike lanes. You can read the detail about what happened, the proposed dangerous changes and what you can do here. Andrew reminds us how Neighbourly Ride started, and brings us up to date with it's revival. Neighbourly Ride provides short social rides for newbies, creating community connections through sharing local routes and experience riding in a sociable and welcoming environment. Its the perfect next step for those hoping to start using their bike but not sure how to start. Neighbourly Ride needs volunteers to help provide more local rides in more areas. Get in touch with them if you think you can help!
