Bike Futures

Bike Futures is a Bicycle Network project that supports people who are working in, with or alongside Local Government in Australasia.

The Bicycle Network is hosted by Bicycle Victoria; Australia's leading bike organisation, and an international pathfinder in the development of policy, planning and activities promoting the growth of bike riding.

Our aim

Through Bike Futures we aim to help you unlock the solutions that government, professionals and community leaders require at the local, state and national level.

We will ensure you stay up to date on the latest thinking on every major issue confronting communities moving to embrace the bicycle revolution.
 

 

Bike Futures

We all have a massive challenge ahead of us: more of our citizens are riding, and riding more often; riding in places and at times that were never envisaged; placing stresses and strains on physical infrastructure and political patience alike.

Bike Futures is a Bicycle Network project that supports people who are working in, with or alongside Local Government in Australasia.

We aim to support you through the whole cycle of bicycle development; from the data collection and  planning, through design, implementation, promotion and evaluation.

Bike Futures is a place for ideas, solutions and tools as well shared experience. Please tell us what you face and what you have achieved so we can share it with your peers.

People who hold a bicycle responsibility in local government have told us that they can feel isolated. Bike Futures will connect you to others who face similar challenges.

Please contact us if you would like to participate.

Everyday assistance

Bike Futures can help you in your work everyday.

Good design guides

In this section we are gathering the advice that is available to guide the construction, maintenance and auditing of bicycle facilities. Our guides take you straight to the practical answer.

Approaches, studies, examples

The website tabs contain practical advice from the pre planning work in Measure and understand to effective ways to Support and Promote your bicycle initiatives.

Toolbox

We have a number of powerful tools that are easy to implement. We recommend Super Tuesday to benchmark your riding data and BikeScope to understand who is riding and what they need in your area.

Local Government

Is where we will build up the reference of bike strategies and you can see what other Councils are up to.

Conference

In 2009 we ran our first conference. Planning for the October 2010 conference is underway.

Forum

We have established a forum around bike issues that is only open to Councillors and Officers in Local Government. (This will be launched in 2010)

Bike Futures newsletter

The e-news will go out at the end of each month in 2010. If you are an elected official - Alderman, Councillor - or an officer in local government, contact us and we will include you on the list.
