About Us and Social Media Policy
Bicycle Queensland aims to get more people cycling more often and improve cycling infrastructure. Add your voice by joining our 12,000 members and 34,000 supporters. Bicycle Queensland organises Queensland's largest bicycle events such as the Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge, Cycle Queensland, Peaks Challenge Gold Coast, Great Brisbane Bike Ride (including the Coot-tha Challenge) & Bike Week to help drive our mission. The Bicycle Queensland Facebook and Twitter pages are a place for you to learn about our latest initiatives, hear about our events, share your bike riding experiences, get advice on riding and have a bit of fun. Here are a few guidelines to make sure our Facebook and Twitter sites are a friendly and useful place to visit and search for information. Please keep them in mind. Be nice - Please treat people the way you'd like to be treated. Be respectful of other people's opinions and feelings. Watch out for each other in the online community much like you would in the ‘real world’ neighbourhood. Be kind - Conduct yourself in a civil manner in the online world just like you would in the offline world. If you use any obscene, profane or sexually explicit language or upload content that is violent, racist, abusive, threatening, or slanderous against anyone or any group we will remove your entries form the discussion. Be careful - We can't guarantee the accuracy of all information posted. Always consider any advice carefully before following it. You are responsible for deciding what to do with information posted on the Bicycle Queensland Facebook site. Keep some things to yourself – Don’t post your own or anyone else's personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers, contact information or other personally identifying information. Don’t act like a troll - Please don't post inflammatory messages designed to foster arguments (this is also known as 'trolling'). If you see any of these please don't respond as this will make the situation worse but do report the post to Bicycle Queensland staff. No junk mail please - Our page is not intended for the promotion of third-party services, products, websites or organisations. Don’t post advertising, junk mail, spam, chain letters or any other form of unauthorised advertising. Respect our site – Don’t upload trojan horses, worms, spyware, files, or external links to sites that force the download of any virus, program, spyware or other content or code as it could interfere with the functioning of the site. Be specific - The more specific you can be, the easier it is for someone to follow you. Discussions that veer off topic, are unrelated, are repetitive or campaigning, may be edited or removed. Avoid politics – political discussion on government decisions is probably inevitable, but we don’t want to be debated as it can damage BQ and not achieve much anyway. Bicycle Queensland staff reserve the right to edit, move, lock or delete any message we deem inappropriate or disruptive. Users who persist in violating these guidelines may be barred from posting to this site. Who to contact:
