Just email tasoffice@bicyclenetwork.com.au – first in wins! There will also be a screening at Du Cane Brewery in Launceston on Wednesday 24 September.
Get involved in Launceston rides, advocacy
The Tamar Bicycle Users Group’s Annual General Meeting is coming up on Thursday 2 October, 6pm at the Newstead Tennis Centre.
Get along to get involved in social rides or cycling advocacy, or both! – Wednesday morning rides leader Mick Statham will give a talk about the past decade of fun on wheels.
Please let contactus@tbug.org.au know if you intend to go so they can make sure there is enough free pizza for you.
Hobart Bike Kitchen officially re-opens
While it’s been operating from its new premises at the Hobart Tip Shop for a few months, the Hobart Bike Kitchen is planning a grand re-opening celebration on Sunday 21 September.
Turn up between 12 and 3 (30 McRobies Road, South Hobart), with official ribbon-cutting activities happening around 1.30pm.
The kitchen still needs more chefs to help people fix bikes so if that’s your thing, come along and have a chat to see how you could help.
Watch out for Molle St roadworks
The City of Hobart is planning to two weeks of roadwork on Molle Street between Bathurst and Melville streets from Monday 15 September.
The road will be closed to traffic on weekdays between 9am and 4pm but the footpaths will remain open.
The street will re-open outside of the weekday work times but riders who can’t avoid the area should be on the lookout as the road surface will be rough and uneven with raised service covers.
Coastal Pathway inertia moves on
Commute for Climate sneaky peek
We’ll have more details about this year’s Commute4Climate competition in the next In the Loop, but head to the website now to sign up for alerts on this year’s prizes and rules: www.commute4climate.com.au
Commute4Climate was trialled last year by the University of Tasmania’s Environment Society and this year they’ll be back for a full rollout of a month of cycling activities and prizes.
