Pedal Power wants to keep an eye on the use of temporary traffic signs when they are used on roads, and how they affect traffic. Please get in touch with anything that’s amiss.

We are proud to announce that EnrizenOne is our new insurance provider, selected after a competitive tendering process where EnrizenOne provided the most competitive quote with the best coverage.

Pedal Power has now released its new Strategic Plan for 2025-27.

While this new Plan has many similarities with the old one, it also has a greater emphasis on collaboration and recognition of members and volunteers.

We recently undertook a comprehensive, whole-of-organisation review using an empowerment evaluation methodology. Four priority areas emerged: advocacy, income generation, volunteer engagement and program Improvement.

In partnership with the Taylor Community and Social Group and Pedal Power’s Bike Library Fix and Ride workshop, a group of creative women under the leadership of Fran Freeman yarn-bombed a few bikes.

Pedal Power’s ED Cecily Michaels attended the Canberra Environment Centre (CEC)'s 50th birthday celebrations, an event that not only marked a significant milestone but also reinforced the valuable partnership between Pedal Power and the CEC.

Join the West Belconnen Bike Bus operating monthly and hoping to become a weekly event!

Our Easy Social Ride on Sunday 27 October took participants through Canberra’s scenic northern suburbs, with a delightful foray across the lake to visit the new sculpture in the National Gallery's Sculpture Garden.

Our next Easy Social Ride is on this Sunday, 20 October, departing from Forde Shops at 9am.

Our first ride in the Spring series was well attended and everyone enjoyed the easy pace meandering from the Arboretum to Curtin, stopping for coffee at Stromlo Forest Park, and taking in views of the Molonglo River on the return leg. Join the next one on Sunday 20 October.

After the buzz of the protest ride faded, Pedal Power’s ED had the privilege of speaking with two young Pedal Power members and two long-standing advocates. As they reflected on the day’s success, it became clear that this movement is about more than just the present—it’s about the future of cycling in Canberra.

Join Pedal Power ACT’s protest ride on tomorrow, Friday, 11 October 2024, as we call for segregated bike-only paths along Northbourne Avenue—a major commuter route for cyclists—and safer roads for all.

In an age when jobs are more sedentary than ever and we need to find ways to fit exercise into our daily routine, commuting to work by bike seems like a no-brainer. But sometimes it may take a bit of creativity to make it work.

As Pedal Power campaigns for separated cycle infrastructure on Northbourne Avenue, many users of the current cycle lanes would be unaware that they have their own contentious history, with many parallels to current events.

On 25 September, about 50 Pedal Power members gathered to hear from major political candidates about their plans for bike riding and active travel in the ACT.
