Community News Free electric bike tryout
Sunshine Coast residents will have their last opportunity to have a free tryout on an electric bike at Beerwah on Saturday, July 27. The tryout is part of a series of monthly electric bike rides that have been organised by the Sunshine Coast Environment Council (SCEC) with grant funding from Sunshine Coast Council. President Vivien Griffin said that the rides had been organised as part of SCEC’s commitment to more sustainable transport options. “We believe that electric bikes can make the choice to leave the car at home easy and fun, and the best way for people to find out about them is to have a go,” she said. “We have now organised 11 rides throughout the Sunshine Coast and participants have all enjoyed the experience and several have ended up buying an electric bike.” The ride will start with a safety and technical briefing, and then head out on off-road pathways or quiet back streets, returning by 10am for a friendly morning tea. The Beerwah ride will start at the Beerwah Library, on Peachester Road, and riders are asked to register at ebikerides18@gmail.com or phone 0407 116 105. Riders are asked to come before 8am to allow time for bikes and helmets to be adjusted to ensure a safe and comfortable ride. Bikes and helmets are supplied free or you can bring your own helmet.
Balancing efforts
By Lea Parkes A little bit of rain wasn’t enough to stop Cr Rick Baberowski trying out the new timber balancing logs at Skippy Park at Landsborough last Friday morning. We caught up with the councillor when he was out taking a look at the work that Sunshine Coast Council officers completed just in time for the school holidays.
The project replaced the climbing tree and was delivered at a cost of $60,000. The overall project includes new timber balance logs, climbing net (spider’s web) and a top up of the sand as well as minor turf works. A handful of timber uprights have been hand crafted to include Australian animals and create imaginative play.
