Life and career

1962-79: Early life

Stradlin was born as Jeffrey Dean Isbell in Lafayette, Indiana. His father was an engraver, and his mother worked for a phone company; they divorced when he was eight. Of his hometown, Stradlin later said, "It was cool growing up there. There's a courthouse and a college, a river and railroad tracks. It's a small town, so there wasn't much to do. We rode bikes, smoked pot, got into trouble—it was pretty Beavis and Butt-Head actually."

History

Ride On began service on March 31, 1975.

In 1989, 57 30-foot Gillig Phantom buses, the first buses in the second-generation blue-and-white scheme, went into service. These buses retired in 2004.

In the spring of 1996, Ride On's first CNG buses, the 1996 35-foot Orion V buses, went into service. These buses have since retired.

In early 2004, Ride On's first low-floor buses, the 2003–04 35-foot Orion VII CNG buses (5900–5932), went into service. They replaced all of the remaining 1989 30-foot Gillig Phantom buses (which were also Ride On's last buses without wheelchair lifts), therefore resulting in an all-accessible fleet.

Bicycle Network

Bicycle Network is a charity, one of the largest cycling membership organisations in the world (45,000 members, 2015), whose mission is to have More People Cycling More Often. The name was changed from Bicycle Victoria to Bicycle Network Victoria in July 2011 to Bicycle Network in August 2013.

Bicycle Network is financially self-supporting and independent. It is primarily funded by its major events and membership subscriptions. Some events and programs receive specific government and commercial sponsorship, though Bicycle Network maintains financial independence as an organisation. This independence allows the organisation to lobby in the interests of bicycle riders without perceived external financial pressure, although this is debated by critics (see below).

Currently Bicycle Network employs about 60 permanent staff and has a number of additional staff on contract for events and special projects, as well as using the services of volunteers for events. Craig Richards is the CEO, succeeding from Harry Barber who had been the CEO since 1996. Bicycle Network has offices in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia and Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The organisation also has a workshop in Sunshine, Victoria.
