Interview: 'Australia's E-Bike moment' with Bicycle Network's CEO, Alison McCormack

Alison McCormack (pictured) leads the Melbourne-based Bicycle Network and is excited and overwhelmed by what is "Australia's e-bike moment". Working with her team, Alison recently organized an e-bike event at the Brunswick Velodrome attracting some 4000 people from all parts of Victoria. The event, which allowed people to test-ride their preferred bike was so successful that Alison's team is now contemplating an "E-bike roadshow" that might visit Shepparton and, if arranged, visit the Museum Vehicle of Vehicle Evolution. This venue already has an impressive display of classic bicycles. As Alison previously worked with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, she is well aware that Shepparton has a celebrated Olympic cyclist in Steve Fairless and would love to combine the screening of that movie, "Fairless", with the e-bike roadshow.
