Val and Faith share their bike moments before taking a look at some of the news and happenings coming up in Melbourne lately. 

The Streets People Love website has been updated with those candidates who engaged with the SPL community and were successfully elected identified by an orange border. In particular it is handy to know who in your local council has taken the Streets People Love pledge, and a great excuse to email your local councillors, introduce yourself and find out what plans they have to implement the actions described in the pledge locally. 

For those who live, work and ride in Yarra who are concerned about moves to get rid of or compromise bike infrastructure, take a look at the Yarra for Safer Streets site to see how you can get involved in protecting infrastructure for people on bikes. 

Coming up on Wednesday December 11th is the launch of a photo exhibition  ‘The Everyday Lives of Delivery Workers’ at 6pm. 

We also take a look at the PETAL Project report "Unlocking young women's access to bike-riding" released last week. Dr Lauren Pearson reports on research into women aged 18-29, their interest in using a bike ro get around the the barriers they report to doing so, plus the solutions they come up with!
