Sunday's count to be super

This Sunday, hundreds of volunteers will set out across shared paths and trails as part of Australia’s biggest recreational count, Bicycle Network’s Super Sunday.

Over four hours, volunteers in VIC, QLD, NSW, NT, WA and SA will monitor and count the number of people riding, running or walking from key vantage points on shared paths and trails.

The count aims to provide consistent and reliable figures of recreational bike riders and other off-road path users.

Run by Bicycle Network, the data is collected on behalf of local councils to help identify how they can improve facilities and encourage more people to be physically active.

An annual community event, Super Sunday volunteers are rewarded for their time with an $120 donation to a local charity, non-profit, sporting club or community group of their choice.

Calling all counters: spots still available

If you’re looking for an opportunity to help improve facilities in your neighbourhood or even raise funds for a club or community group, Super Sunday is your chance.

Volunteer places are still available for this Sunday 11 November across the following council areas in NSW, NT, QLD and VIC.

  • NSW: Inner West, Lake Macquarie
  • NT: Darwin
  • QLD: Whitsundays
  • VIC: Bass Coast, Frankston, Yarra Ranges, Melbourne, Wyndham, Nillumbik and Ballarat.

In a changing climate the shoreline is no sure thing

Many of our best bike journeys are along coastlines, or up and down the creeks and rivers that meet the sea. These are generally traffic-free routes, scenic, calm and refreshing. But with rising sea levels some of this vital infrastructure is at threat of inundation, erosion and from changes in groundwater chemistry.
