3CR Radiothon kicks off today: so please pledge your donation or subscription to Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio to keep 3CR and us on air!

On this weeks program Chris chats to Senator Janet Rice about next months federal election, her first term as a senator, climate change, mandatory helmet laws and the Greens recently announced Greens Plan for Cycling and Walking which seeks to establish an Active Transport Fund worth $250 million annually for cycling and walking infrastructure.

Local news includes Resilient Melbourne Strategy, a tiny bit about Contador taking out the Criterium du Dauphine time trial, some waffling on about disruption and driveless cars and how you can show support for retaining active transport and cycling funding in Yarra Councils Proposed Budget 2016-17 by attending Tuesday nights council meeting in your cycling attire ;)
