If you prefer, meet at any of the stops in the list above or make your own way to the Domain behind parliament house.
This is a chance to get the attention of NSW parliamentarians in the run up to the state election in March 2027.
At the Hospital Rd (Domain) side of Parliament House, after a photo session, we will welcomed inside to speak with the Parliamentary Friends of Active Transport and the member for Balmain Kobi Shetty.
Morning tea is included!
It's an excellent opportunity to communicate directly to decision makers and help convince them of the need for more funding and favourable outcomes for travelling by bike.
The Balmain Bike Bus, organised by the Sustainable Transport Group of Climate Change Balmain Rozelle, invite us to join them for this special ride. We will also be joined at Macquarie St by Bicycle NSW.
This is a great way to get our voices heard to champion cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable transport.

Bring a good bike lock, and all the usuals (helmet, tools, sunblock, water, spares). If you wear cleats, suggest you bring a change of shoes for use in Parliament House.
Afterwards, if you can, join us at a nearby cafe for a post event cuppa and discussion, otherwise make your own way home.
