For the first time in years, Critical Mass will be heading to Moonee Ponds to highlight the lack of safe cycling infrastructure in an otherwise lovely part of the world!

We encourage everyone using the trail to show courtesy and respect to others by travelling at safe speeds, being aware of their surroundings, and recognising that people use the trail in different ways.

Only 33% of Footscray's Strategic Cycling Corridors have been built.

Bicycle Network have launched an impressive easy-to-use tool that highlights the gaps in our cycling network as part of their 'Gimme 5' campaign.

Have a look around and see for yourself.

There are few things more predictable in Australian public life than the instant aneurysm some people suffer whenever bicycle infrastructure is mentioned. Spend a billion dollars widening roads? Sensible. Mature. Nation-building. Spend a fraction of that helping people ride safely to work, school,

We've been working with Bicycle Network and others ask the state government to commit to dedicating 5% of the transport budget to fund the construction of the Strategic Cycling Corridors.This is money that could go towards building #westlink and the #francocozzolink as well as other much needed routes in the west and across the state. These gaps in the

Dixon Veloway between Footscray and West Melbourne will be closed overnight on Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 June from 7pm-5am for planning maintenance.

Will they improve the expansion joints? We doubt it, but would welcome being wrong!

Tottenham Station - Riders Dismount

Here at BikeWest, we're still flabbergasted that the new Tottenham Station with its welcome new pedestrian tunnel will be a 'riders dismount' zone!
Despite the fact that on the north side of the tracks is a very popular shared path and Maribyrnong Councill will be building a short bike link to the Stony Creek on the

Lost or found something on the Veloway? Let us know and we can do our best to get the word out.
This morning someone lost their Teenage Engineering Pocket Synth that looks a bit like a calculator, probably wrapped up in a blue towel. We also have a Jabra ear buds charging case handed in. If you've found or lost items respectively let us know!

Anderson St Level Crossing Removal plans are out.

While the main underpass nearest Anderson st will be stairs/elevator only, a second underpass near Murray st will allow people to ride under a tracks directly (confirmed with the Level Crossing Removal Project). So those times of waiting 5+ minutes at the gates as numerous trains go past will be a thing of
