Salute the count!

21 February 2013. On Tuesday, March 5, come hail or shine, 750 enthusiastic counters will be out on the streets and lanes in three Australian States counting bikes. There's nothing they like better than an acknowledgement by riders, so please salute them as you go by.

Count sites rushed

23 January 2013. Bike counters rushed to register for the Super Tuesday Bike Count when registrations opened last week and the majority of sites are already filled. However key locations are still open and we need your help to get more people counting on March 5.

In Victoria 85 per cent of sites are filled. But we urgently need more counters in Bayside, Wyndham, Moonee Valley and Wodonga.

In WA 80 per cent of sites are filled but we urgently need people to count in Kwinana and Cockburn.

NSW has 65 per cent of sites filled, and our priority for more counters is Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Warringah, Parramatta and Albury.

Counting each year is a great way to contribute to building the case for better riding facilities, and it is also an ideal opportunity for community groups to raise funds for their causes.

So see what you can do to rustle up more people to count!

Note: All sites have been filled in the following council areas: Ballarat, Bendigo, Frankston, Geelong, Monash, Moonee Valley, Whitehorse, Leichardt, Woollahra, Subiaco, Cambridge, Cottesloe.

Super Tuesday veterans get first pick

13 December 2013. Super Tuesday bike counting veterans who want to count at their favourite site again in 2013 will have the opportunity of an early-bird registration in January to secure their preferred spot.

If you have already counted for us you will have a one day jump on everybody else who wants to counct this year.

Super Tuesday registrations open on Wednesday, 16th of January, 2013, but only for previous counters, who will be able to get first pick of the sites.
