Mondring: Innovative Circular Cycle & Pedestrian Bridge for Richmond?

13 March 2017: Alan Todd from Freestyle Cyclists interviewed by Chris Star on Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio on 3CR about his long involvement with Australia’s mandatory helmet legislation (MHL), “Australian Exceptionalism”, conflict with bureaucracy, police and media criticism about the upcoming Helmet Optional ride on Saturday 18 March 2017. 

Alan states the case that focussing on MHL distracts from more important cycling safety issues.

Paul Farren died on 5th October 2017. Alongside the fabulous Charlie, he was a legendary bicycle historian and collector not only in Australia but worldwide, and one of nature's gentlemen. As 3CR podcasts expire after a few months, we've rehosted Faith & Val's interview with Charlie and Paul from 23 September 2013.

Yarra BUG Radio Show #256 Monday September 23rd 2013: 
http://www.yarrabug.org/radio/2013/09/24/yarra-bike-radio-show-256-monday-september-23rd/

It was a glorious spring morning and we reluctantly hopped off our bikes to spend half an hour in the studio. We kick off the show with our very special studio guests Paul and Charlie Farren and all share our bike moments before getting into some local news.

After a short break we chat to Paul and Charlie about their amazing bicycle collection, one of the top five collections in the world and rarely open to the public. The collection houses over 200 bicycles, all pre-dating 1905. Paul explains how he got into collecting and some of the adventures they’ve had along the way. We also discuss the new book documenting the collection.

YarraBUG Radio’s presenters are Steve Barnett, Faith Hunter, Val Nagle & Chris Star. We all have very diverse cycling interests and no doubt if you’ve spent any time on a bike around Melbourne you’ve probably met one or all of us at some point. 

We intend YarraBUG Radio 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.

YarraBUG Radio encourages people to join in the sheer fun of bicycle riding and to also raise awareness in sustainable transport issues.

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.
