Although this big piece of work is now finished, we are not stopping there. A NEW WEBSITE IS ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY!!

Many of you regular CBD website visitors would have noticed a lack of news since Port Mac.. unfortunately our current news system has slowed to a halt, but a brand new design is on the way to fix it all up!

In the meantime, make sure you enter our annual Le Tour Tipping Competition for your chance to win some awesome prizes, and show how well you know who's in form at Le Tour this year!

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Anth and the team

We are closed from Saturday 5th June and reopen Monday 21st June.

CBD Cycles 2, located at 660 Bourke St (in between Spencer and King Streets) will remain open during this time and we are chocked to the rafters with specials. If you've never been to our "other" cbd location why don't you come on in and say hello and maybe help us clear some of our excess stock!

Repairs

We are offering free pick-up and drop-off for any repairs during the renovations in the cbd area.

Any queries give us a call on 9642-8766

All,

As some of you would be aware, I have spoken at a couple of council meetings to try to assist with getting a no stopping zone on Beach Rd in the Bayside council area. Currently, attempts by many people have failed, but voting by councillors is currently split 3-3. In order to try to sway this, we need to convince 1 councillor to vote for the no stopping zone.

Please find attached the petition to be sent to Bayside Council relating to a request to implement a no stopping zone on Beach Road from 6am -10am Saturday and Sunday. This is where I need your help.

In as little as three weeks the council will be meeting again on this issue and I would like to present a petition with thousands of signatures to sway the councillors voting against the no stopping zone with the power of democracy. I am calling on you to assist in whatever way you can with your own contacts – particularly in Bayside council area - to get them to sign the petition or (better still) to download a copy of the petition, fill it out with valid signatures and send them back to me. The details of how to do this is on the website. As an example, take along the petition to the next group ride or coffee. If you head to your local bike shop, take a couple of copies, ask them to get signatures and send them back too.

Although cyclist users of Beach Rd are an important component, we need to work really hard to get Bayside residents (cyclists and otherwise) to support the idea that the no stopping zone will assist with traffic flow on Beach Rd, and with changes to beachside parking will have no impact to beachside and retail access.

For those of you with websites, please feel free to create a link to my website to allow others to read of the petition aims and download copies. Here is the link: http://www.michaelforbes.org/cycle-safety/

Cheers,

Mike.
