[ur]http://www.darebinbug.org.au/5thbirthday.html[/url]

Free Public Event, Preston Shire Hall, Cramer Street, Preston, Thursday
15 June at 7.30pm.

DarebinBUG invites cyclists from all over Melbourne to celebrate
commuter cycling and meet the face behind the voice of 774's off-beat
traffic reporter, Hilary Harper. This will be followed by a new
evidence of bike commuter numbers presented by Tony Barton of
VicRoads.


Special Guests:
Hilary Harper: why a traffic reporter rides to work

Hilary Harper, 774 Traffic Reporter and producer on Red Symon’s
Breakfast program gives some insights into the world behind the mike
and explains that `some are born to traffic reporting and others have
it thrust upon them’. Hilary has taken the opportunity to make her
segment cater to the needs of all travellers - whether they're
commuting or just getting around, on public transport, motorised
vehicles, bikes or on foot.

Tony Barton: new evidence of commuter cycling numbers

VicRoads’ Manager of Bicycle Programs, Tony Barton, unveils the results
of new data provided by underground counters on bike paths around
Melbourne. Results show that some of the main commuter paths carry
around 4000 cyclists a day, debunking the myth that bike paths are only
for Sunday riders.
