About us
Social, leisurely 🚲 rides on quiet streets or separated paths, at a pace you can talk normally. Wear whatever is comfortable. Be yourself.
We're for people who use bikes to get from A to B. People of all ages, abilities, & identities who use all types of cycles. We are not lycra-clad cyclists who want to ride beside traffic doing 80km/h.
Think of us as trying to recreate the enjoyable experiences of riding in Copenhagen or Amsterdam (as on YouTube channels Bicycle Dutch and Not Just Bikes), but with cockatoos and kangaroos.

27 Club Bike Party
The Street Theatre, Cnr Childers Street and University Avenue, Canberra City, Canberra, AUThis bike party celebrates musicians who died too young at 27. We'll roll around Lake Burley Griffin and play their songs really loud.
Mural by Jonathan Kis-Lev from left shows Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse.
Bring your own bike, lights, and helmet, and if you can, dress up as one of them. We'll bring the JBL Partybox to blast out your favourite songs by these artists. (For an idea about what to expect, here’s one we held in Tuggeranong).
We'll meet outside the Street Theatre, then ride a loop around the Central Basin of Lake BG, and stop for a meal/drink at The Jetty. We return to the Street Theatre via Lawson Crescent, Sullivans Creek, and the ANU campus.

Madonna "Confessions 2" Listening Party by bike
The Street Theatre, Cnr Childers Street and University Avenue, Canberra City, Canberra, AUMadonna's new album, 'Confessions 2', arrives 3 July, and we're gonna have a listening party by bike. Here's what our bike parties are like.
Grab some lights and friends and roll with us on a slow, social ride around Lake Burley Griffin and the National Gallery while we play her album loudly from the back of our cargo bike.
We'll also smash out her classics, too, so give us your requests.
Wear plenty of layers and gloves as it's cold by the lake.
We ride in a clockwise direction from beneath Commonwealth Avenue Bridge.
There are three hills on this ride - up over Parkes Way, and then the approaches to Kings Ave and Commonwealth Ave Bridges.
We finish at the Mandalay Bus in Haig Park for some delicious hot food, the official bike party food bus.
