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.

See all- Billy Joel’s Birthday Night Ride Bike PartyThe Street Theatre, Canberra
What’s the matter with the bike I’m riding / can’t you tell that it's out of style?
We’re playing Billy's 1980 number one 'Still rock and roll to me', and taking requests, so tell us what should be on the playlist.
(For an idea about what to expect, here’s one we prepared earlier during Halloween).
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.
Bring comfortable warm clothing, lights, locks, and money if you decide to eat something at the Jetty.
