Monday, 15 February 2016 - 10:00am to 10:30am
 Is fear of riding holding us back or is it genuinely unsafe on the roads?

At this years Sustainable Living Festival, The Squeaky Wheel, CrowdSpot and Treadlie presented the forum: Riding in Melbourne: Perceived fear or real risk? This forum was also a launch for the new BikeSpot project, a collaboration, enabled by a TAC Community Road Safety Grant, between The Squeaky Wheel and CrowdSpot, to understand the bicycle riding community's perceived level of safety compared to historical crashes at locations across Melbourne.
