The Bikeability Toolkit is a useful community resource consisting of a comprehensive checklist and resources package designed to help local governments to develop bicycle facilities and support cycling programs in their municipalities.

The Bikeability Toolkit was developed with support from the Australian Greenhouse Office and can be downloaded from their web site.

The Bicycle Federation of Australia is running a series of half-day training seminars to present the Bikeability Toolkit and train local government staff and councillors, BUG members and other interested people in its practical use (for more details, see the flyer).

The seminars will be held in the afternoons on the following dates across Australia:

• Sydney: Friday 27 October (Local Government) &
  Saturday 28 October (BUGS)
• Melbourne: Friday 10 November (Local Government) &
  Saturday 11 November(BUGS)
• Adelaide: Friday 24 November (Local Government) &
  Saturday 25 November (BUGS)
• Brisbane: Friday 8 December (Local Government) &
  Saturday 9 December (BUGS)

The seminars are free but places are limited. The program will consist of a visual presentation of the Bikeability Toolkit, inspection on foot of local bicycle facilities and a group workshop to apply the acquired skills. Afternoon tea will be provided.
