Invitation to a forum 2-4pm Thursday 21 July Can a public bicycl
system contribute to developing and promoting cycling in Melbourne?

I write to invite you to attend a forum to discuss the possibility of
public bicycle system in Melbourne. This invitation is extended to
variety of sustainable transport stakeholders in Melbourne.

Research in the Industrial Design Program at RMIT has been exploring a
strategic concept for cycling promotion in Melbourne. This forum will
commence with a presentation of Scenarios for an Integrated Public
Bicycle in Melbourne. The research has generated a strategic concep
to
increase bicycle usage and cycling activities by integrating vision
of
a public bicycle system with existing public transport, with urban
information systems, and with tourist services and activities. Visual
scenarios for a possible Public Bicycle will be presented to provoke
discussion amongst stakeholders.

The Forum is expected to attract participation from:
City of Melbourne; Bicycle Victoria; The Victorian Department of
Infrastructure TravelSmart team and Transport Ticketing Authority;
VicRoads; Metlink; Tourism Victoria; Public Transport User
Association;
Bicycle user groups; and scholars in sustainable transport and design.

Please see the attached flyer for details. We do hope you can attend.

Yours sincerely,
