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.

Bread roll: bakeries and donuts slow ride
Under, 30 Mawson Pl, Mawson, AUWe love devouring freshly baked goodies, and reckon if you're reading this, chances are you do too. Support a few local bakeries, and rediscover the joy of social cycling on machines that fight climate change and loneliness.
We'll start at the Under bakery in Mawson, which always has a line for its goodies including cardamon buns and huge focaccias.Then we'll roll to Evoke in Curtin, whose croissants placed second at the 2025 National Artisan Baking Competition. Niugini Arabica next door has excellent coffee, and they roast their own beans.
Then, we'll head along the bike path which graces the southern shorelines of Lake Burley Griffin before crossing Commonwealth Ave Bridge, along Marcus Clarke St, and finishing at the Corner Store Market in City West for fresh hot cinnamon donuts. There will be coffee, and there will be a few gluten-free options (mostly sour dough).
Most of the route is on separated bike path. There are hills at Deakin and Yarralumla.
Join us for all bakeries three, or just stay for one - you are always welcome on our rides.
Feel free to start in Mawson, or meet us along the route. BYO cycle, or rent them from Cycle Canberra.Rough itinerary:

AC/DC bike party
The Street Theatre, Cnr Childers Street and University Avenue, Canberra City, Canberra, AUGrab your friends and come roll outside to celebrate Acca Dacca returning to Australia for live shows.
This one's for people who can't tickets to their Sydney shows. 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.
Also, wear layers as it gets cold at Lake Burley Griffin. For an idea about what to expect, here’s one we prepared earlier during Halloween.
We ride from the Street Theatre to Lake Burley Griffin's central basin, heading clockwise. We stop at the majestic Ouroboros sculpture by Lindy Lee at the National Gallery, before returning to the Street.
We welcome all people on all cycles and scooters. The route is about 7km, and there are toilets at multiple locations along the way.
This is a mostly flat ride, except for the inclines over Parkes Way, and the approaches to the Commonwealth Ave and Kings Ave Bridges.4 attendees
Fleetwood Mac Belco Bike Party
Belconnen Arts Centre, 118 Emu Bank Parade, Belconnen, Canberra, AUYou can go your own way, or you can experience the joy of our famous bike parties by rolling around Lake Ginninderra, blasting your favourite Fleetwood Mac songs with your friends.
You create the playlist, so let us know what you want. Otherwise it'll be 'Silver Springs' on loop, and you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loved you. (Was I just a fool?).
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. Bring something warm in case it gets windy by the lake.
This route around Lake Ginninderra is mostly flat and is on shared paths. There are inclines approaching the Lake Ginninderra bridge.
