What we’re about
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.

Led Zep and David Bowie Bike Party
The Street Theatre, Cnr Childers Street and University Avenue, Canberra City, Canberra, AUGrab friends or make some new ones by rolling with us to celebrate two British acts who changed rock music. Led Zeppellin released their debut studio album on 13 Jan 1969, while David Bowie died on this day in 2016.
You choose the songs for our playlist, which we'll blast from the back of our cargo bike as we circle Lake Burley Griffin.
Cycling is a social activity, so grab a freedom machine with brakes, find some lights, and come outside. We ride slowly, at a pace you can talk normally. We welcome all people on all cycles and scooters.
For an idea about what to expect, check out this video.
We'll meet outside the Street Theatre, then ride a clockwise loop around the Central Basin of Lake BG, and stop for a meal/drink at The Jetty. We return to the Street Theatre via the National Gallery's Ouroboros sculpture by Lindy Lee, then take Commonwealth Ave Bridge, and usually Sullivans Creek and ANU campus.
This ride is mostly flat, except for the approaches to the Kings Ave and Commonwealth Ave Bridges. There are toilets along the route, eg near the National Carillon, and the international flag court. Bring something warm as it's usually cold around the lake after sunset.6 attendees
Tuggeranong Mix Tape Bike Party
Tuggeranong Library, Cowlishaw St, Greenway, AUGrab your friends and come roll outside to celebrate summertime in Tuggeranong.
Choose what songs you want on our playlist, and we'll blast them from our PartyBox speaker on our cargo bike.
New to our bike parties? You must bring your own lights, and have a plan if you get a flat tyre or other mechanical fault.
We'll do a loop of Lake Tuggeranong, starting from the library, and move at a pace you can talk normally. We're about social connection, not speed. Wear what you want. We'll be dressed in flashing lights and shorts.
Also, wear layers as it gets cold.
For an idea about what to expect, here’s one we prepared earlier during Halloween 2024.
We welcome all people on all cycles and scooters. You don't need special clothing or cycle, you just need a helmet and a freedom machine with brakes.7 attendees
