Before setting out, it’s important to make sure you’re ready for the road ahead. Western Australia has some amazing cycling-friendly infrastructure, but safety is still key:
Don’t forget to carry a basic repair kit, including a tire pump and patch kit. A little preparation can save you a lot of hassle on the road.
The Federal Government’s announcement of a 10-year, $50 million per annum extension to the Active Transport Fund provides a welcome horizon for long-term planning. But more is needed.
WestCycle rode over to the Town of Vincent offices recently and found Mayor Alison Xamon in a feisty mood, refreshed from her daily ride into work on the trusty ‘Mayoral e-scooter’ she has owned since 2020.
E-scooter users talk about how they get around on their small-wheeled machines.
Trains will run again between Bunbury and Perth from 29 June with increased frequency and new railcars housing14 bikes per train.
The State government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries is a major supporter of the Women on Wheels program in Western Australia. Sport and recreation creates vibrant, inclusive and connected WA communities.
