Bicycle Network: Bicycle Coalition

Existing Programs endorsed by the Coalition

We have endorsed two national social marketing programs:

• National Ride to Work
• National Ride2School

We aim to develop the scale and effectiveness of these programs.

We have endorsed a national effort at rider education:

• The Light Up! campaign aims to reduce the proportion of bike riders who ride at night without lights.

We are working together to get more bicycle facilities built.

We are working together to improve the frequency, accuracy and comparability of bicycle trip data.

We are developing shared internet services for riders including:

• Bike shop finder
  • to help riders find independent bicycle dealers
  • help independent bike dealers serve riders
  • help independent bike dealers connect with Coalition members.

We plan to launch a national Ride leader accreditation program

We are working to enrol the bicycle industry as supporters of our initiatives.

We have a number of programs under development
