Whether you are commuting, riding for fitness, or racing to the café, road riding is a great way to arrive at your destination while staying active. WestCycle promotes all facets of road riding by advocating on behalf of all road riders and aligning ourselves with key stakeholders, working to ensure everyone arrives at their destination safely.
WA Bike Month blasts off at Lake Monger (Galup) on Sunday, 1 October with obstacle courses, BMX, trishaws and much more to usher in a month of bike-based and active transport celebrations and education.
WA’s fast-expanding gravel cycling scene has a major new event set among the blooming wildflowers in the rising gravel hotspot that is the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu, just two hours NE of Perth.
We have had a few enquiries about so-called “mini-roundabouts” and their appearance in local streets in Perth. They are featuring in the fairly new Low Cost Urban Road Safety Program by Main Roads, which aims to slow speeds in local streets and reduce crashes at intersections.
The survey, conducted biennially since 2011, offers a snapshot of riding habits, motivations, barriers, and demographic breakdowns.
