Could cycling help ease the cost-of-living squeeze? Executive Director Cecily Michaels reports from a Wollongong conference on car dependence, school bike buses and the volunteer advocacy that helped shape Canberra’s cycling network.

A dangerous branch was reported 14 days before cyclist died on a Canberra shared path, but the warning did not reach the right team for assessment. The ACT Government says Fix My Street has changed. Pedal Power asks how riders can tell whether serious hazards reported today are being identified and made safe in time.

Eight Gungahlin path links have reached detailed design, but construction still needs funding. From the town centre to Yerrabi Pond, Pedal Power asks which connections will be built first and when riders can expect a route that works from start to finish.

New crossings and paths are being designed near Canberra schools. But what about the streets children use to reach them? We look at the whole school journey and how Pedal Power’s Safer Streets campaign could help make it safer.

A new water play area is coming to Emu Inlet. As more families visit the foreshore, how can the lakeside path stay comfortable for people walking, riding and stopping to enjoy the space?

Scottish cyclist Connor McElwaine has completed an extraordinary 18,000-kilometre journey from Canberra Avenue in Glasgow to Canberra Avenue in Australia, with local riders joining him for the final stretch into the capital.

The ACT agreed to cost and schedule Canberra’s future cycling network. With its report due in September, riders need more than another map; they need a delivery plan.

Queensland now requires most adult e-bike riders to hold a valid drivers licence. Pedal Power argues the law burdens safe riders while failing to target the real risk.

The C4 detour behind Woden Police Station may last only two weeks but it exposes a longer story about crossings, connections and whether promised upgrades are actually delivered.

See what is planned for Stage 2B and why its shared path and intersections must work safely for riders of all ages.

Selected for the survey? Recording every bike trip helps ensure cycling is visible in future transport decisions.

Electric cargo bikes will join the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme in September, making this practical car alternative more affordable.

In memory of her husband of 60 years, Bernie, Janice Fitzpatrick is taking on a 40-kilometre ride around Lake Burley Griffin, including the steep climb to the National Arboretum.

Janice, 81, will set off from Acton Park at 9 am on Friday 18 September to raise funds for dementia research at UNSW’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing. Her goal is simple: to help create a future where fewer families lose someone they love to dementia.

Applications are now open for the Australian Government’s $500 million Active Transport Fund. The funding presents a major opportunity for the ACT to deliver safer, better-connected cycling routes and close critical gaps in Canberra’s network.

Changes are taking shape around London Circuit, with new cycling paths and lanes emerging as part of Light Rail Stage 2A and the Lyric Theatre precinct. Take a look at the latest progress, and find out how Kurrajong members can get involved in shaping Pedal Power’s local advocacy.

A friendly reminder for everyone using Canberra’s shared paths. Whether you’re riding, walking, running or wheeling, a little patience, awareness and courtesy can help keep our paths safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Changes are coming to Lake Burley Griffin’s popular Central Basin paths, including a new pedestrian-only section along the northern foreshore and alternative routes for people riding. Pedal Power welcomes the changes and says they are a practical step towards reducing conflicts, while calling for longer-term improvements on the lake’s busier southern side.
