To celebrate the official re-opening of the Royal Danish Embassy in Australia, the Embassy invites people of all ages to visit the exhibition Dreams on Wheels: Danish Cycling Culture for Urban Sustainability on show at the Showcase Gallery, Commonwealth Place, Canberra throughout the month of May.

Focusing on the bicycle as a sustainable mode of transport, the exhibition features examples of bicycle friendly urban planning through to the latest in innovative Danish bicycle design.

The Bicycle Federation of Australia (BFA), Australia’s peak cycling group for recreational, commuter, everyday and touring cyclists, has launched a new service to help organisations set up bike fleets in their workplaces - bikes4work.

BFA President Jeff Ibbotson said: “The BFA sees this as an important initiative to promote cycling and to continue our work in this area."

The Garnaut Climate Change Review is an independent study by Professor Ross Garnaut, commissioned by Australia's State and Territory Governments on 30 April 2007. The Prime Minister of Australia has confirmed the participation of the Commonwealth Government in the Review.

The Review will examine the impacts of climate change on the Australian economy, and recommend medium to long term policies and policy frameworks to improve the prospect for sustainable prosperity.

The Cycling Promotion Fund is organising a free information workshop for women to hear great ideas for safe and enjoyable winter cycling and preparing for upcoming events.

Moreland City Council is pleased to announce its second Cyclovia, named Tour de Moreland, on Sunday 13 April 2008 from 8am to 2pm on Sydney Road, Brunswick in Victoria.

"Tour de Moreland brings life to the street’, says Mayor Joe Caputo JP. "Residents will enjoy the freedom of Sydney Road without cars, while businesses will benefit from extra foot-traffic. It’s a great idea and a great fun day out."

Looking for a low cost and easy way to get your kids more active? Walking or cycling to school enables your children to start the day by being active, helps them to get to know their neighbourhood and improves their road safety skills. 

Walking and cycling with your child is a great way to spend time with them and build up their skills and confidence to enable them to become independent travellers. Children under 12 years of of age are allowed to walk and cycle on footpaths and so are adults who are walking and cycling with them.
