Radical Adventure Riders in Naarm!

Monday, 26 June 2023 - 10:00am to 10:30am
Annie Keynes sits in the 3CR studio

Val and Faith were joined in the studio by Annie Keynes of Melburn Durt, and the brand new, just created, Australian chapter of Radical Adventure Riders. Before turning to all things radical we check in on our Radiothon target and discover we have made it! Thanks to everyone who donated this year to help keep radical radio on the air.

We also check in on the Gipps St steps as demolition was scheduled to begin this morning ahead of the building of a ramp to replace them. A day not many people thought they'd ever see! 

Turning to Radical Adventure Riders, Annie talks about the synergy between Melburn Durt and RAR, the immediate plans for RAR in Australia and what they hope will evolve. We discuss the importance of inclusivity and creating space for women (cis and trans), trans men and GNC folk to enjoy riding and the outdoors. You can keep tabs on RAR Australia here and let them know if you'd like to get involved. 

We finish up with a reminder that the next Critical Mass ride in Melbourne is this Friday June 30th and will mourn the boulevard of broken dreams that was the Shrine to Sea project. See you there! 

While we didn't get time to discuss it today we also wanted to mention that Bicycle Network are looking for donations for their Ride 2 School program to keep it going in the short term while they seek longer term funding. You can read all about it and make a donation here.
