Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio - 10-10.30am - Every Monday on 3CR
Community Radio 855 AM


Monday 15th September is Yarra Bicycle User Group's very first Radio show
and we are broadcasting live, 10 - 10.30am on 3CR Community Radio 855 AM.
A group of six people will be taking it in turns to present the show, the
program presenters are Sonya, Chris, Val, Steve, Rob and Emma.

Our program intends to promote urban cycling as a viable means of
transport; promote Yarra’s cycling conditions; demystify cycling
technology; and help reveal the diversity of cyclists around from
children, to commuters, to lobbyists.

We are hoping the YarraBUG Radio will encourage people to join in the
sheer fun of bicycle riding and to also raise awareness in sustainable
transport issues. YarraBUG  will be broadcasting every Monday at 10am 3CR
Community Radio 855am and streaming live on the web at 3cr.org.au.

We would like our show to be for everyone – cyclists or not and we would
love non-cyclists to be in our audience. YarraBUG Radio is based in the
inner suburbs of Abbotsford, Alphington, Burnley, Carlton North, Clifton
Hill, Cremorne, Collingwood, Fairfield, Fitzroy, Fitzroy North Princess
Hill and Richmond.  We want to advocate on behalf of cyclists for improved
cycling conditions with organisations and many other groups.

YarraBUG radio is particularly interested in hearing from cyclists who may
not be residents of the Yarra area, but who commute daily through the
area.  Both cyclists and residents local knowledge, resources and skills
are important in creating awareness and a safe cycling environment in the
inner north.

For those of you who haven't hear of a BUG before, it stands for Bicycle
User Group, which is a community based organisation set up by cyclists. 
There are a number of different sort of BUGS, such as those defined by a
geographical area or workplace or place of education such as universities
or TAFE’s.  The role of BUGs can be to provide a forum for cyclists to
meet and discuss local bicycle issues, work with local government to
improve cycling conditions, promote all types of cycling, assist others to
start cycling and arrange and participate in social rides.

YarraBUG would like to thank the City of Yarra for the assistance given
via their Community Grants Program to fund our show.  We would also like
to warmly thank 3CR Community Radio for their strong support to get the
show on air and 3CR’s hardworking staff, especially Leanne, Bree, Libby,
Julliette, Eleanor and Nicole.
