Spoke Up!—for Women’s Health is back in 2019
12 August 2019
As part of Women’s Health Week the Active Travel Office wants to help more women experience the multiple health benefits of riding a bike. Women often don’t make time to prioritise their health. Women also cycle at about half the rate of men despite making more short trips within their local community than men. Spoke Up! is about prioritising your health by exploring opportunities to build more cycle trips into your daily travel routine.
A number of events will be held throughout the week to promote more cycle trips:
- Tuesday 3 September 7 - 9pm: Women’s cycling culture in Canberra, what can we ALL do to get more women cycling every day?
- Wednesday 4 September 9am - 4:30pm: two community drop-ins in Tuggeranong
- Friday 6 September 9:30am - 12pm: New parents meet up with kids at the Belconnen Learn to Ride Centre
- Friday 6 September 6:15am – 7:15am: Coached novice and flat (handle)bar cycling skills session, hosted by Females in Training
