NEXT time you’re cruising down the cycleway and hear an inexplicable rattle or squeak, you’ll be able to stop and fix it thanks to Bicycle Network’s public bike tool stands. Bicycle Network’s public affairs manager Alison Hetherington said the multi-tool stands will be located next to the Intercity Cycleway at the Hobart end, and at Station Street Reserve in Moonah. “These tools are a fantastic resource for riders who don’t always carry tools around with them,” she said. “They can also be used by riders to doublecheck everything is okay with their bike before heading out for a ride, or just making sure your tyres are pumped up for a smooth roll. “Bicycle Network
volunteers have raised money over the years by providing valet bike parking and other services and they’ve chosen to give back to the riding community by contributing to these tools to be put in place. “They have teamed up with Rotary Hobart and Teros Hobart to share the costs of buying the two new stands. “And thanks to the City of Hobart and Glenorchy City Council, the tools will be installed free of charge on council-owned land, and the councils will take over the ownership of the stands. “These tools will help cement the Cycleway as Hobart’s premier link for people riding to the city for work or shopping, or just going for a Sunday ride along the river.”

How to activate, not hibernate this winter Jo Cordell--Cooper
“SUMMER bodies are made in winter” – I’m not sure where I heard this pearl of wisdom but there is a lot of truth to it! Some of the best things in winter include looking forward to bunkering down with slow cooked foods, reading a book by a cosy fire, or a long, hot bath to warm you from top to toe – all enjoyable, but not active. Spring is definitely the busy season in the fitness season, but I’m finding a shift in many of my clients to a firm commitment to exercise over winter – with locked in training sessions and the higher attendance on the nights you’d think people might rather stay at home! My Friday NIGHT Hikes have been warmly welcomed – walking by torchlight calms both body and mind. The body is meant to move, and move it must to stay healthy. We are not bears – we should not hibernate. So what can you try over winter? Here’s my top five active solutions to winter:
• Find a waterfall: waterfalls are particular beautiful after the rain. Collinsvale Waterfall, Strickland Falls in South Hobart, Silver Falls in Fern Tree, New Town Falls in Lenah Valley and Myrtle Gully and Secret Falls in South Hobart are all worth a visit. • Snow visit: rug up and head up Mount Wellington, Collinsvale or the Great Lakes. • Go swimming: The idea might be frightful, but water and air temperatures at indoor pools are stable! Join an aqua aerobics class, do laps, or join one of the aquatic sports on offer. It is not out of the question to do some openwater swimming. The benefits of cold water submersion are well documented however if you are new to it, have a medical check-up first to ensure your heart can handle it! Be sure you understand the early symptoms of hypothermia and have a firm strategy
for getting warm after your swim. • Gardening: rake up the leaves, prune the trees, prepare vegetable beds for the spring. I cannot think of a more wholebody exercise than gardening! • Bike ride: visit Hobart’s many bike tracks and off you go! You can even cycle out to Valhalla in Moonah and get yourself an ice cream!
Jo Cordell-Cooper in the snow
Often we think of Hobart as being much colder than it is. Hobart isn’t cold, Canada’s cold! Yet Canadians have a very rich and exciting winter life full of sport and enjoying the big chill, and so should we. Your body will enjoy the movement and you won’t be scrambling to quickly lose your winter belly when it comes time to shed a layer or two of clothing. Enjoy our beautiful city and all it
has to offer - weather permitting.
