The state government (here in South Australia) is after your input. They want to know what the next 30 years of transport and infrastructure should look like. I'm hoping it's going to have lots of walking, bikes, and trains in it.

If you're a comfortable bike commuter, and there are people at your work/uni/school who aren't sure how to get into commuting by bike offer to help them. Post about it on your Intranet. Put a sign on the pinboard. Mention it around the water-cooler.
