Wrenchworthy Bicycle Shed Launch + Explaining the Western Distributor

from YarraBUG · host Chris Star, Cat Calypso, Sid, Alison Clarke

Two interviews on this weeks show, first up Chris chats to Cat and Sid from Wrenchworthy Bicycle Shed at their launch and fundraising tea party, a new group for a bike maintenance/mechanics space that's located at HOP Community Centre, for women, non-binary and gender diverse people. Wrenchworthys goal is to create a space that is welcoming and useful to people who are often made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome in the masculine, male-dominated cycling culture. Second interview is with Alison Clarke during Public Transport Not Traffic's walking tour of the proposed Western Distributor route in Yarraville, discussing issues surrounding decision-making processes about planning for megaprojects, transport priorities and Melbournes continuing car-dependence. Local news includes City of Yarra Grants Program and Projector Bikes upcoming Fitzroy Edition of their Friday night ride this Friday 29 May, starting at Edinburgh Gardens.
