Bike racks on buses at risk of failure
The ACT Government has purchased twenty six new extra long buses which may not be able to be fitted with bike racks. Pedal Power issued a press release last week expressing concern that this could seriously undermine the Bike’n’Ride scheme. For more information, including how to register your concern with Ministers, please use the following link.
