About us
Ashfield Bicycle Group is for people who want better conditions for cyclists in the Ashfield area.
We work with Inner West Council to improve road facilities and cycle paths.
We run regular rides for people wanting to learn more about getting around the area by bicycle.
We organise "feeder" events where we head off on our bikes for a ride and a meal, sometimes at night when we have the cycle paths to ourselves!
