Bicycle Western Australia

By Robert Waller January 27th, 2010 Uncategorized No Comments »

As you may or may not be aware, Cyclo Sportif is planning to relaunch as Bicycle Western Australia (BWA) in 2010. They are currently WAs largest cycling organisation and are working towards maximising our influence with local councils and the government, as well as continuing with our popular events program.
Part of this new direction is to increase our advocacy and community involvement, aimed at getting more people cycling more often.
They are keen to work closely with BUGS in WA to improve cycling conditions.

See www.bwa.org.au. They are running a five dams event in March, 230km’s. Get training now!
