FEBRUARY 2008 Welcome to the first edition for 2008. Plenty of action already. Sticking to our motto of education + safety + awareness for young cyclists and other road users. More on Road Use later in this edition. Make your 11 - 20 year cyclist mates know about the MTB program and opportunities for sponsorship Urgent Memo to All Road Users Rob Arnold - RIDE MAGAZINE Memo to all road users…. Rob Arnold the publishing editor of RIDE Cycling Review penned this article in the 39th edition which is on sale now. Read by either purchasing RIDE or click here. The Ben Mikic Foundation has been set up with an overarching goal of making cycling on our roads a safer place for young cyclists and supports Rob Arnold’s call for all users to share our roads equally as well as respect the needs of all users. Ben’s parents wanted to create something positive out of his untimely death and with the help of the Southern Highlands cycling community initiatives are being enacted to fulfil the foundations motto – education, safety and awareness – initiatives can be viewed on benmikicfoundation.org.au In a more wide ranging attempt to make our roads a safer place, Rob Arnold in his Memo to All Road Users, has articulated the responsibility that all road users have to share the roads equally and to respect the right that all users have of being able to arrive at a final destination safely. The Ben Mikic Foundation fully endorse Rob Arnold’s thinking on this critical issue and hopes that opinion leaders and politicians will heed his call and provide the leadership that causes attitudes to change amongst all road users, which in turn leads to a much safer road using public. 
The Ben Mikic Foundation is proud to annouce its association with The Outdoor Education Group based at Biloela in the Southern Highlands to bring a unique MTB Skills Based Training Experience to the cycling community of Australia.
