MIRRABOOKA MLA Janine Freeman says the recently-upgraded Perth Bike Network in Balga makes riding more accessible and safe for all cyclists.
Ms Freeman and City of Stirling Balga ward councillors Keith Sargent and David Boothman held a community bike ride through Princess Road and Balga Avenue on November 11.
The upgraded network, worth $159,000, was completed in June.
It provides direct connections between schools, shops, leisure and sporting facilities and nature reserves for cyclists of all skill levels.
