CSIT RTW Bulletin #39: Feb 2008

http://cs.anu.edu.au/csitRTW/bulletins/RTW.39.Feb08.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Haven't had a bulletin for a while now, but I hope we have all kept our cycling up!

Crash Advice

While none of us intend to have one, lighting strikes when we least expect it! Would you know what to do? PP recently issued a brochure giving some useful guidelines.

What to do if ...

Some advice from PP:

a car is blocking a bicycle lane (or worse still, a bike path!): call the police on 6256 777. Its an offense!
if the traffic lights don't sense your bike (wait at least 2 cycles to be sure): go to the Canberra Connect Question or Feedback site. Identify the intersection and the lane you were in. The sensitivity can be adjusted.
a bike path has broken glass or storm debris: similarly report it to Canberra Connect, being as specific as possible.
While you are there, its also worth getting an account so you can track your requests. A request to clear accumulated mud from a McKellar underpass last Dec took only a few days (and they did a good job too!).

PP RTW Newsletters Pedal Power (re)started monthly RTW newsletters from mid last year. A few interesting bits on the regional RTW scene...

BIKE 'n RIDE for free!

[from Ride2Uni] as of Dec 2007, you can board an ACTION buses equipped with bike racks, put your bike on it and then ride for free! Very useful if the whole journey is a bit too long. See BIKE 'n RIDE page for details.

Upcoming Events: ANU Sustainability Day, Feb 28

Thursday 28th February is ANU's Sustainability Day, kicking off with from 8-10 am with the Ride to Uni Breakfast (pancakes) at Union Court, and other interesting events throughout the day!

Well thats it till there is enough for another bulletin. Happy cycling! -Peter S.
