You would of noticed that the WoJ site has been quiet for a while, as I’m in the process of taking it over to a new improved CMS (content management system) which will be easier for you to access and easier for administrators to update.
In the interim, if you’re searching for the latest bicycle advocacy news, go to the right hand column on this page and read the RSS feed updates.
You can also use these RSS feeds in your own news reader. If you don’t have a news reader, go to google reader to get started.
Bin the Bike Ban
If you are in Victoria and concerned about the Connex and V/Line peak hour bicycle bans, go to Bin the Bike Ban for the latest news and updates.
Cycling Resource Centre
The Cycling Resource Centre was recently launched. It is maintained by the Australian Bicycle Council (ABC) in implementing the Australian National Cycling Strategy 2005 – 2010 (NCS). The Centre is a repository for data, information and best practice relating to cycling planning, policy, programs and projects.
While the Cycling Resource Centre is intended primarily as a resource for those involved in the planning, delivery, management and promotion of bicycle facilities and initiatives it may also be of interest to people wanting to find out more about these aspects of cycling.

Social Networking for cyclists
Two new social networking sites have been recently been launched. Sydney Cyclist and Melbourne Cyclist are for cyclists to talk, share hints, bike nerd tips and generally stay informed.
Sign up, join one of the groups or create a group for your club or BUG, add a event to the calendar, start a blog, post your photos and videos, and maybe join in a discussion in the forums. Hopefully there will be further sites launching soon.

Ride of Silence
The Australian Ride of Silence will be held on Saturday 24th May 2008.
- Read here for a roundup of the 2007 Australian Ride of Silence.
- Category for the Ride of Silence where you can read previous years reports.
I take this opportunity to suggest that potential RoS organisers should now start planning towards the 2008 ride. Previous rides have been held in Sydney, Bendigo, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane, with a view to getting interest for other rides in towns & cities. The International Ride of Silence has plenty of resources and links to assist if you want to organise a Ride of Silence in your area and register your local ride.
At the moment we are planning monthly catchups via email, telephone conference or Skype. There’s much to strategise, including outreach to cycling groups and individuals and developing a cohensive media strategy. Please do not hesitate to contact Rob Eke or myself if you would like to assist planning towards Australia RoS 2008.
So stay tuned for more news in 2008 on the Australian Ride of Silence, WoJ promotional material, media monitoring and fighting the good fight.
