Zero Emissions Noosa are running their last Introduction to Electric Bike ride on Saturday 2 March from 8-10am for people to test out the electric transport option.
“We have been running these free 2 hour group rides for the last 8 months,” said ZEN President Vivien Griffin. “They are part of our commitment to more sustainable transport choices, and they have proven very popular. Several of our riders have gone on to purchase an e-bike, which is what it is all about. “
“This ride on 2 March will be the last we are running, and we still have a few places left, but I would encourage people to register immediately by emailing zeroemissionsnoosa@gmail.com. We will head out from the Noosa Transit Centre in Noosa Junction and along the Eenie Creek pathway, probably all the way to Noosa Civic and return. It is a lovely safe ride, with a few hills to test out the electric boost capacity of the bikes.”
“Noosa Council Transport Policy says that Council “will provide infrastructure and services that are designed to give priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport over private cars, yet we still see $3M allocated to the Ernest Street roundabout to make it easier for cars to get around, while a proper bike path plan is still on the to do list, let alone the construction,” Vivien said. “As former Chair of the Council Bicycle Advisory Group, I definitely think a greater focus and resource allocation needs to be in place, not just on the future to do list.”
