Cycling campaign gathers feedback amid push for safer connections

要点

• Cyclists across the Geelong region are being asked to rate their local roads and paths during the October Biketober campaign. Participants can log rides and earn prize entries, and this year they can also rate how comfortable their routes feel.
• The push comes as Surf Coast Shire and the City of Greater Geelong seek state funding for a separated cycling link between Torquay and Geelong, estimated to cost $13 million.
• The shire is also seeking an extra $2.8 million for the highest risk section between Blackgate Road and Lower Duneed Road.
