There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules:
Wear what you want.
Ride what you want
don't let anyone tell you differently.

Who cycles in Fitzroy North? 🙋🏻♀️
The intersection of Scotchmer and St Georges Rd is important - lots of local shops and cafes.
Yet I often have people tell me how dicey they find it on a bike and on foot.

Kai, a public housing resident, closed his statement simply:

Kai wasn’t given an interpreter.
He was made to sign with no real understanding - “my English is not very good,”.
This is what forced relocation looks like.
