Event Description

Melbourne BUG invites you to join us at Get Pushy, a rally for bike safety in Melbourne!

As you might know, Greens MP Greg Barber has introduced a bill to increase the penalty for car dooring to the same as running a red light.

We are gathering together to say we support the bill, but want more, too: safe bike lanes, more of them, and respect on the roads. Because in a real bike city, you don't have to be brave to ride a bike.

Bring your bike, bring a friend.

Details

When: Wednesday 29 February (Leap Day), 12.45pm, entertainment from 1.00–1.30pm

Where: Gordons Reserve, Spring Street, CBD (Gordons Reserve is that small triangle of grass with the fountain in it, just south of parliament)
