Unley in partnership with the Adelaide City Council and
Cities of Burnside; Charles Sturt; Norwood, Payneham & St Peters; and West
Torrens is participating in the Love to Ride 2015 Challenge. This important
initiative demonstrates our commitment to a collaborative approach to the
promotion of bike riding across Adelaide. We recognise that whilst we are
actively improving cycling infrastructure within Unley, we also need to
actively participate in programs that promote the take-up of cycling as an
alternative travel mode for our residents and commuters travelling through
Unley. The Rugby Street and Porter Street corridor is an example of a popular
cyclist route into the CBD, as well as providing important local connections to
schools, childcare, parks, community services and shops within Unley. The Love
to Ride 2015 Challenge compliments the improvements in physical infrastructure
and continues our collaboration with Adelaide City Council with the implementation
of the signage strategy for this cycling route.
Known
previously as the Tour de Work, the Love to Ride Challenge is a FREE
competition to see which workplace can encourage the most staff to ride a bike
for 10 minutes or more. It’s simple, fun and is based on numbers taking part
not kilometers cycled and participants can ride anywhere, anytime to be
eligible to win great prizes. All that participants need to do is register
online at www.lovetoride.net/adelaide
and encourage others to participate. Participants also can win
great prizes just for logging a ride and a free movie ticket for
encouraging a new rider to experience the fun of being on a bike again.
The focus
on a short, easily achievable goal of 10 minutes helps the program to reach the
key target audiences of non and occasional bike riders, who are then encouraged
by experienced and regular cyclists. Free courses are available
for new riders and riders that want more experience of being on a bike – click here for
more information.
