The event is organised by UWA’s University Bicycle Club as part of Bike Week. University Bicycle Club president Thom Rossen said the speaker series is not just for biking enthusiasts. “City Soapbox is for anyone who wants to learn how bicycles can help make our towns, cities and suburbs safer, stronger, more productive and more prosperous,” he said. “All over Western Australia communities are facing issues such as traffic problems, growing demand for parking and development pressure. However there’s very little discussion – and much less action – about how better provision for bike riding and reorienting our streets more toward the needs of people can help to address all these issues and more. “Because bikes are such a cost effective and space efficient form of independent transport, they can deliver a whole raft of benefits, not only to the people who ride bikes, but to the whole community.” City Soapbox will be held over five days at the Museum of Perth from Monday 14 March to Friday 18 March. Speakers include transport planners, academics and local politicians. Talks start at 12 PM and run for 30 mins with 15-20 minutes for Q&A afterwards. All talks are free and open to the public. For more information visit the Bike Week website and the University Bicycle Club Facebook page.
