October is WA Bike Month, and this year’s theme is Bike Your Burbs: swap the car for the bike on short local trips and see your neighbourhood from the saddle. WestCycle is out and about across Perth this month at six free events, with the City of Perth, the City of Vincent, the City of Canning and Your Move. Come along, say hello and bring a friend.
