David Ralph

Rider Services Co-ordinator

I have been working at Bicycle Network Victoria, since February 2006, firstly in a volunteering role, then working, as a member of the Rider Services Team, since July last year. My main responsibilities, include answering incoming calls, helping to solve queries from bike riders, and also making outbound calls.

PROFILE: Outside of Bicycle Network Victoria, life for me, is watching AFL football, and meeting up with friends, when I can. I also used to play wheelchair basketball for Victoria, and I used to play in a domestic, B Grade Level basketball competition, though I am having a break at the moment.
