If you’re 15 or 16 years old and live in the City of Stirling your life is about to take a whole new spin (excuse the pun). Your council is trying to get you fit, happy and out and about. They even give you a free bicycle. Yes, no kidding. FREE!
The City of Stirling is participating in the Happiness Cycle and have 300 bicycles to give away.
You will have to go to the Herb Graham Recreation Centre in Mirrabooka on Tuesday, 13 May and assemble your new treadlie yourself.
But all is not too hard. Firstly, the City of Stirling is working with schools in the area to arrange an excursion (so no ditching of classes). If you’re keen to attend let your school know about this great opportunity.
Secondly, if you don’t know which part goes where, don’t despair. There’ll be lovely helpers attending this event to show you how your flat pack turns into your new, fully functional bicycle.
For more information and to register go to the Happiness Cycle. You can also email Stirling’s Sustainability Project Officer.
Joondalup and Swan are also involved with the Happiness Cycle and giving away free bikes to local teenagers. I asked Joanne from Stirling how they became involved and it was because local teenagers registered their interest and nominated Stirling as the local council. Other councils may be able to be involved in the future if enough people from those areas register their interest online. https://happinesscycle.com.au/register
