Welcome to COWBAC

About us

The purpose of the Bicycle Advisory Committee is to provide community input and assist Council in planning and providing a safe, convenient cycling environment for the community which will maintain and encourage participation in cycling.

Aims

Cycling in the City of Whitehorse is an important travel option. The City aims to provide:

  • Environmentally friendly travel
  • Health giving exercise and recreation
  • Independent travel for those without motor transport

2007 City of Whitehorse Bicycle Strategy

In 2006 Council engaged consultants to prepare a new City of Whiehorse Bicycle Strategy. The draft strategy was released in late 2006. It is now being reviewed after comments and feedback. For details go to the information on the Council page

The City is working to:

  • Increase the length and connectivity of bicycle routes
  • Encourage cycling by improving and maintaining signs and developing a bicycle route map
  • Remove hazards

Community Bike Ride 2006
