Charles Sturt University (CSU) staff and student cyclists will gather for a group social ride to the University in Bathurst on Wednesday 19 September as part of NSW Bike Week activities. Bike Week event coordinator at CSU, Ms Nicola Smith, from CSU Green,  said events were planned for all CSU campus towns. “We encourage the University’s staff and students to cycle-to-work as a fun, healthy and low carbon means of transport which is gaining in popularity,” Ms Smith said. “The group ride during Bike Week also promotes safety and economic savings, as fuel prices and motoring costs continue to climb.” There will be a Bike Ready Event on the library lawn at CSU on Tuesday 18 September from 12pm to 2pm for cyclists to check and prepare bikes ahead of the group ride the following day. Cyclists will meet at 8am on Wednesday 19 September at Banjo’s café, William Street, Bathurst, for a free breakfast before departing at 8.30am to ride to the University.
