Super Tuesday is Australia’s biggest visual bike count that provides reliable annual figures about bicycle commuting. On Tuesday 6th March volunteers across Australia will collect data that helps participating councils make good decisions about where to invest their funds in bike infrastructure.
The best part is each person who successfully volunteers and completes the bike count can nominate a group or club to receive $50 as a reward for their work. EWB is campaigning to get counters involved and nominate EWB as the recipient of the $50 donation.
Super Tuesday is on 6th March from 7am – 9am, across Australia.

EWB works with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and the implementation of sustainable engineering projects. Common issues in the communities they work with include access to drinking water, sanitation, energy and waste systems.
Super Tuesday aims to answer two questions: How many riders are there? Which routes are riders using? Super Tuesday 2010 was the largest commuter rider count ever and they anticipate that this year’s count will be the biggest ever.
“Counting for Super Tuesday is so worthwhile, it combines two fantastic causes into one activity. Not only does it help us get better informed about bike usage and sustainable transport, it raises money for EWB, an organisation that is leading long term change in developing communities,” said Ian Cunningham, EWB staff member and past Super Tuesday Counter.
Let’s start counting!
