http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/8/c/2/event_173362722.jpeg Bent Kranks is a bike club created for the gay and lesbian community of Melbourne, its friends and supporters. We are open to all. You don’t have to be gay or lesbian to ride with us. Whether you’re a once-a-year rider or a weekend warrior who likes to hit the trails in and around Melbourne, we have a ride for you.

Our rides are mostly away from busy roads on urban bike paths, rail-trails or dirt tracks in the hills around town.

If you attend a meet up ride, we’ll ask for a donation of $2 ($2.50 PayPal). (We gave up on collecting this as it was toooo boring.) Alternatively you can join the club — an annual fee of $20 — and have access to full club benefits including all ride details direct to your inbox.

Check out some examples of rides (http://bentkranks.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=38&Itemid=81), have a look at some photos (http://bentkranks.com.au/index.php?option=com_expose&Itemid=296), or find out more about becoming a member (http://bentkranks.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=25) at our website (http://bentkranks.com.au/).
