Woodside building accommodates cyclists
Woodside sets a positive example as to what workplaces can do to reduce car commuting and promote cycling as a healthy and sustainable mode of transport.
Making Woodside’s new office at 240 St. George’s Terrace bicycle-friendly has been a major achievement. As major leasee of the building, Woodside made end-of-trip facilities for cycle commuters a requirement including space for 206 bicycles in a swipe card secured bike cage. As a result the new building has more bays provided for bicycles than cars, and locker and shower facilities have also been provided.
Woodside staff have participated in the Bike to Work corporate challenge for the past four years and many are part of a company-wide Bicycle User Group. .....more
Testimonials
"Hi,
I have just moved to Perth from Sydney and would like to congratulate the DPI for such fantastic maps. Back in Sydney, the NSW RTA maps are over 6 years old and do not include local government routes. It was trial and error getting around on my bike. The DPI maps over here helped me identify a great route to my city office for my first day on Monday. Thanks,"

“I would like to congratulate all those who contribute to the development of the Perth Bicycle Network and the government for their policy and financial commitment to the network.
Whilst I am a competitive cyclist, I am also one of the minority of commuters who chooses to ride to and from work each day, for health, environmental and financial reasons. I find the Perth Bicycle Network to be very useful from the perspective of training and commuting and I commend you on the development so far. The network is superior to other capital cities in Australia as well as those I have been to in North America.
I look forward to the continuing development and especially the finalisation of a cycleway from the city to the hills.
Well Done”

“I've recently started using the network of cycle paths around Perth (due
to a change of address), and I'm very impressed. I use the bike lockers
at West Leederville train station and I think they're a great idea. I
also use the bike paths around the Swan between UWA and East Perth and
along the Midland and Fremantle railway lines, and they're very easy to
ride on. Congratulations, I think you're doing a great job to make this
a bike-friendly city.
Cheers”

“ Many thanks for the cycle path extending towards Bassendean. It is a big help to be able to hop on the bicycle path around Maylands, to get quick access into the city, and I have noticed with pleasure that the extension to Bayswater is well under way, in a generous way enhanced by both overpass and tunnels. This is really well done, and makes me aware of how fortunate WA Cyclists are. In my hometown of Zurich there are many more cyclists, railway stations are surrounded by masses of locked up bicycles, yet there are hardly any bike paths. Well done, Bikewest!!!”
