National Ride2School Day 17.3 a huge success

Colour, excitement and thousands of bikes! Over 140,000 students walked and wheeled their way to school on National Ride2School Day.

Congratulations to all the parents and teachers who supported active travel today.

Let's continue to encourage our children to get active and ride, walk or scoot to and from school regularly.

If your school missed National Ride2School Day this year, you can still host a Ride2School Day some other time during the year when it suits your school. To register your school, click here.

Albert Street works begin

Works have begun on Albert Street East Melbourne. The photo shows the removal of two rows of kerbside bluestone. We will be riding in a lane by the kerb protected by a 30cm band of acoustic line marking or rumble strip. Rider numbers in 2010 are nearly double 2009.
