A Cyclovia, the first of its kind in Australia, will be held on Sunday
28 May 2006.

What is a Cyclovia?

We close 4 km of Sydney Road to cars and trucks between Bell Street and
Brunswick Road and turn the street over to bikes and pedestrians for 6
hours. Cars still cross Sydney Road at main intersections - trams will
operate as normal.

Stroll the footways, shop, stop for a cake and coffee, go for a walk, or
cycle, up to Coburg and back. Your friends, family, even young children
will be protected from car traffic between 8am and 2pm.

Cyclovias are common in cities around the world including Colombia,
France and Italy, and becoming more and more popular as people take back
the streets for fun, clean air, personal health and a more livable
neighbourhood.

Cyclovia Sydney Rd will be an exciting event, but we need your help to
make it happen.

Volunteers are needed with all kinds of skills, but mainly to assist
with putting out signs, directing participants and giving out
information. Previous experience is not necessary, we will train you.
Additionally, accredited traffic management training will be provided
free of charge to some volunteers before the event.

If you:
are over 16
are available on Sunday 28 May 06 for a few hours
and can attend a training session for 1 hour at one of the following
times: Sat 20 May, 2 - 3 pm, at Brunswick Town Hall OR Mon 22 May, 6:30
- 7:30 pm, at Brunswick Town Hall OR Wed 24 May, 11am - 12 pm, at Coburg
Town Hall

We want to hear from you!

Please tell us something about yourself on line www.cyclovia.org
