50th Anniversary Edition Of Ride On Out Now
The special 80-page Spring edition of Ride On celebrates a landmark moment – 50 years of Bicycle Network – with a rich mix of history, tributes, features and reviews.
The Silver Anniversary edition opens with Maddie Ballard’s in-depth feature on the organisation’s half-century of rider advocacy, followed by a heartfelt tribute to the late Brian Dixon, whose influence stretched from AFL to public health and the early days of Bicycle Network.
An interview with Charlie Farren explores her pivotal role in the growth of the Great Victorian Bike Ride, while Dianne Fielding honours her mother, Noreen Fielding OAM, a long-time volunteer remembered with affection.
Former editor Simon Vincett revisits the transformation of Pedal Power into Ride On, while a detailed timeline and Hall of Fame capture five decades of milestones. Advocacy in Tasmania is traced by Alison Hetherington, and archival pages reprinted from Pedal Power offer a nostalgic step back in time.
