Limited Super Tuesday count sites remain

Only a handful of sites remain available around Australia to count bikes at Super Tuesday on Tuesday 7 March.

Bike riders will be counted at almost 900 sites in 42 local councils across Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and Western Australia. However, less than 15 sites remain available.

Super Tuesday is Australia's largest visual __bike count, collecting data for local councils on the movements and number of __bike riders. The count helps identify areas for improvement and inform bike policy, with the goal of making it easier for people to get physically active and riding.

As well as helping their local council improve conditions for bike riders, volunteers who count on Super Tuesday $50 donation by Bicycle Network to pass on to a local charity or community group of their choice.

Bicycle Network CEO, Craig Richards, said Super Tuesday is Australia’s opportunity to help influence change in their own backyard and help build a local community.

“By volunteering and counting bike riders on Super Tuesday you can show your local council exactly what is happening out on the streets. The data you gather could be the starting point for a new bike lane or path outside your front door,” said Mr Richards.

“Super Tuesday is an easy way for local schools, sporting clubs, charities and local community groups to raise much needed funds. Last year more than $100,000 was pumped back into local communities by Super Tuesday."

Count sites remain in the following council areas:

New South Wales

  • City of Parramatta Council
  • Bayside City Council
  • Northern Beaches Council

Tasmania

  • Clarence City Council

Victoria

  • Greater Shepparton City Council
  • Moonee Valley City Council
  • Wyndham City Council

Western Australia

  • City of Fremantle
