Light Up for the end of daylight savings
Be bright, not dim!
Daylight savings ends this weekend so don't get caught out riding home from work next week in the dark. You need a white front and a red rear light. We'll be handing out lights on Monday 2nd April, 4:30-6, at key points, for the Road Safety Advisory Council campaign. Good light advice here...

Launceston Bike Network - do you have any ideas
The council’s Bike Committee will soon be reviewing the bike network as it stands, and there is an opportunity for TBUG to contribute constructive suggestions. Have you noticed any particular sites where a specific treatment could improve the function of the bike network? These need to be achievable, constructive suggestions only. If you have any ideas, please let our bike committee reps know (Roger on rvreugde@bigpond.net.au; or Mick on hlmstatham@gmail.com )
Bike Cage Thefts
Paterson Street car parks have had bike cages for about three years now and while they are proving a boon for many bike riders shopping and doing business in the CBD, there have been instances of the bolts being forced and bikes stolen. While cable-style bike locks can reduce the risk by bypassing the bolt and still securing the door most riders simply use a standard padlock with the bolts which can lead to a stolen bike. The Bike Committee is reviewing the situation so ideas are welcome.
