		CSIT RTW Bulletin #2: Mon Mar 8 1999
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Everyone! Sorry have been a bit late with this, but have had a few
things to set up, and have been busy with a few urgent tasks over the
last fortnight. 


COMMUNICATION:

1. electronic.

We now have a web page! (thanks Martin for setting up the directory).
	http://cs.anu.edu.au/csitRTW.  
This will also have back issues of these Bulletins. 

2. notice boards.

Inside the CSIT Bikeshed, I've put au small noticeboard, which will
display contact info, Pedal Power calendars etc.  Any suggestions /
requests to put up other info welcome.
 
These notices I will also put up in the CSIT Tea Room (south corner).


BIKESHED NEWS:

Done Bone and a few others have expressed concern that the construction
of the Engineering-IT Link Building (to commence at earliest later this
year) will cause the removal of the Bikeshed.  While the earlier
footprints implied this, the latest design (in the Seminar Room,
Engineering Building) indicate that the Bikeshed is safely clear of the
construction / landscaping area for the Link. 

So thats a relief - but lets keep still an eye on it; these things can
change without much notice!


USEFUL SERVICES OF PEDALPOWER (http://boomer.anu.edu.au/community/pedalpower/):

 * 3rd-party insurance for cyclists (hmm, I need to think about that one)

 * workshops on bicycle maintenance (free for PP members)

 * has a Liason Committee for reporting/lobbying for improvements for bike 
   paths, cycle hazards kerb ramps etc
	- they have a Cycling Hazard Report Card; I will put up a copy
	  one the Noticeboard, or you can get one from me  
 	- also a Hotline 6207 6677


THE CANBERRA BICYCLE 2000 BIKE PLAN

I hadnt heard of this before - came across this by accident when doing
some conveyancing recently.  See
	http://www.palm.act.gov.au/devplan/bikebits/fore.htm for what
our Government has in mind for the next few years - quite interersting. 


UPCOMING PEDAL POWER EVENTS:

The Big Canberra Bike Ride

Starts 8am Mon March 15, near the High Court.  A relaxed ride of 25 km
though Canberra streets.  Seem me for entry forms ($5 entry - mostly goes
to the National Heart Foundation). 


Well thats it for the time being. Happy cycling! -Peter.
