Build safe bike jumps in Honey Eater Park, Upper Kedron
The issue
Just one year ago, a well-known rider in Upper Kedron, named Jude, snapped his arm riding bad, sketchy jumps in the area. This unfortunate event has become all too common as many kids love riding but have no safe, well-designed bike jumps to enjoy. The lack of proper biking facilities has led to numerous injuries ranging from minor scrapes and bruises to more severe accidents like Jude's. This situation underscores the urgent need to build safe, well-structured bike jumps in Honey Eater Park, Upper Kedron.
There is a growing community of eager bikers in Upper Kedron who are passionate about the sport but are limited by the current unsafe conditions. We propose the construction of bike jumps similar to those found in Sunset Park, which offer a perfect progression for riders of all skill levels. By doing so, we can create a safe environment where young bikers can learn and hone their skills without the constant fear of injury.
Moreover, including a small pump track for the little ones and an area with bigger jumps for experienced riders can significantly enhance the biking culture in Upper Kedron. This expansion not only ensures safety but also promotes physical activity and community engagement among the youth.
According to the Australian Cycling Federation, structured and maintained biking parks significantly reduce the risk of injury and encourage more youth participation. By investing in such infrastructure, the local council can prevent accidents, foster a love for biking, and contribute to the well-being of the community.
We urge the local council to take immediate action and allocate resources for the construction of safe and enjoyable bike jumps in Honey Eater Park. This initiative is not just about promoting a sport; it's about safeguarding our children and encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle.
Please sign this petition to support our cause and help bring safe bike jumps to Upper Kedron for the benefit of all young riders. Your signature can make a difference in creating a safer environment for our future riders.
