If you had fun cycling in October and would like to keep it up, or you’re keen to try a greener, healthier mode of transport, the Cycling Ambassador Network recommend you:
- Register with Bike Hubs (whether you use them regularly or not – it also helps the University get a more accurate estimate of Macquarie people that are cycling)
- Get in touch with the Cycling Ambassador Network at cycling@mq.edu.au (or on Yammer) to get advice on cycling to work and connect with other riders.
- Follow MQ People on Bikes on Instagram to be inspired by the stories of all our cyclists.
- Be vocal about supporting cycling at Macquarie with things like additional campus infrastructure and inclusion of e-bikes and pushbikes in salary packaging deals.
