Handlebars of happiness: stories about cycles

A 2026 Cyclonats Festival of Cycling Culture event, presented by Canberra by Bike Design Company and Smith's Alternative

Stories and songs about how cycles have made positive differences to people from all works of life across the ACT, and beyond.

Make new friends and connect with old ones as we gather for the communal experience of storytelling. Got a story you want to share? Pitch your tale to us via email.

Our event is inspired by Bike Story Night, started in Texas USA by Valerie Ruiz.
