Ride 2 School Day WA success!

Schools across the State got behind bike riding and active travel in a big way with skills sessions, breakfasts, bike buses and more as part of Ride 2 School Day WA on 21 March.

E-bikes exciting the WA masses

E-bike use continues to expand in WA as a broader range of people buy into the flexibility assisted bike riding brings to the table.

WestCycle applauds $28.5m investment in WA’s bike path network; more needed

The Federal Government has distributed most of its $100 million Active Transport Fund across the country, with about $15.5m going to 12 WA projects. With local governments injecting another $13m into the 12 projects – half which are regional – the total investment comes to $28.5m. WestCycle welcomed the investment, noting WA’s share of the federal spend was above average.
