Darwin commuters are being encouraged to leave the car at home and get to work by active transport – ride, scoot, skate or walk – this National Ride2Work Day on 15 October.
City of Darwin Council is proudly hosting the 25th National Ride2Work Day, organised by The Bicycle Network.
Lord Mayor, Peter Styles said the event was a great reminder than even small changes can have a big impact.
“We want to encourage Darwin commuters to adopt active transport to get around the city, not just on Ride2Work Day, but throughout the year to build a stronger, healthier, and more connected community,” the Lord Mayor said.
“Our Movement Strategy 2030 supports this by making it easier and more enjoyable for people to get around the municipality by improving pedestrian and shared footpaths, bicycle networks and shared mobility access.”
Plan your active commute route and remember to follow the road rules and stay safe, Lord Mayor Styles added.
To celebrate, there will be a complimentary ‘Ride Thru Brekkie’ at Raintree Park, by Smith Street Mall, on Wednesday 15 October between 7am and 9am. The first 50 commuters to arrive by active transport will receive a free coffee.
