City Soapbox - Day 1

City Soapbox is a series of free lunchtime talks being held in Perth as part of Bike Week. Organised by the University of Western Australia Bicycle Club and held at the new Museum of Perth. The series features five different speakers over five days.

The theme "How bicycles can make our communities stronger, safer and more successful" will be approached from various viewpoints. Speakers will include transport planners, academics and local politicians.

Each talk runs for around thirty minutes and is followed by a short question-and-answer session.
