Super Tuesday bike count volunteers needed in Warringah

Dear Cycling Comrades,
OK, so it doesn't take me long to call in favours
I just had a call from Super Tuesday organisers about Warringah's shortage of human counters next week. Please see email below. This is NOT a council operation, but as you may know, Warringah Council is rolling out the Bike Plan 2010-15 right now for public consultation (out of mothballs after 12 years on the shelf). More to come on that later.
Council management will rely heavily on stats from next week's annual bike count result to fund and prioritise future cycleways.
I'll be at Oliver St & Pittwater Rd on the day, but that one's ok for counters.
Please give it up for the roadies if you can spare the time next Tuesday morning to count. And when you register, Bicycle Vic gives $50 to your nominated charity, which is a sweet bonus to the Karma points.

- Victor Rd, McIntosh Rd dogleg, Victor Rd, McIntosh Rd dogleg and Alamein Rd - 178 Q4
These last 2 are worth advertising but a man also near you might be able to fill them. Just thought I might put them in there in case!

Bicycle Network is coordinating a national bike count event on Tuesday 2 March called Super Tuesday. We are counting in Sydney this year and we need your support!
Super Tuesday is a Bicycle Network event coordinated by Bicycle Victoria. This visual bike count, counts riders in the am peak from 7am – 9am.
Super Tuesday aims to establish a reliable annual benchmark for bicycle commuting to allow those providing for bike riding to base their judgements on accurate, relevant and up to date information.
We are recruiting volunteers to participate in the count. Each person who completes a successful count can nominate your club to receive $50 as reward for their work. For example, if ten people nominate your club that’s $500!
Registration can be completed at this page - http://www.bv.com.au/bike-futures/91111/.
This is an online registration system that enables counters to choose and book the site location they want to count at.
Please forward this email to friends, family, colleagues and other members of your groups/community who would be interested in helping us to get More People Cycling More Often.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
Regards,
