"Not Really a Cyclist" small urban bike adventure 5km or so.

🚲 Eat, Drink & Dance Melbourne: The “Not‑Really‑a‑Cyclist” Bike Adventure!

A super‑chill trial ride for absolute beginners, wobbly riders & the bike‑curious. Give yourself and hour or two to go from wobbly to having a quick ride around some of Melbourne!

For people without a bike try the city based bike hire companyBlue Tongue Bikes (Rental and Tours)

Or bring your own.

Ready to see Melbourne from a whole new angle—the bike seat angle—without needing Lycra, fitness, or any idea what “cadence” means? This playful warm‑up ride is designed especially for people who don’t ride bikes… but like the idea of cruising, chatting, laughing, and discovering the city at a very easy pace.

Think of it as:
Eat. Drink. Dance. Pedal (gently).

🌟 Where We Begin
We’ll meet at Blue Tongue Bikes, Batman Park (King St & Flinders Lane).
If you don’t have a bike—no worries! You can hire one there for a few hours, or grab an e‑bike from other spots around the city.

If you need to hire a bike please get there 30 to 60 minutes beforehand to iron out all the hiring details with the shop or hire a bike the day before if you go elsewhere.

Just make sure you’ve had a little practice beforehand so you’re not learning from scratch on the day (unless you enjoy chaos, in which case… bold choice).

🌟 What We’re Doing
This is a 5 km-ish practice loop around Fishermans Bend, a flat, friendly circuit perfect for building confidence. We’ll roll back into Batman Park at the end—smiling, slightly sweaty, and feeling very Melbourne.

If the group is feeling good, we might extend the adventure toward St Kilda or nearby paths. Totally optional, totally vibe‑dependent.

🌟** Why We’re Doing It**
This is the warm‑up for a bigger 30+ km Capital City Trail ride happening about a week later. Think of this as the “first date” before the “proper date.”

🌟 Who It’s For****

• New riders
• Nervous riders
• Social riders
• People who haven’t touched a bike since primary school
• People who want to see Melbourne’s gorgeous bike paths without pressure
• People who want to meet fun humans and enjoy the city in a new way

🌟 What to Bring

• A helmet (non‑negotiable)
• Water
• A sprinkle of road‑rule awareness (we’ll mostly stick to bike paths)
• Your best “I‑might‑fall‑over-but-I’m‑still‑having-fun” attitude
  Good idea to bring a lock for the bike

🌟 Pace & Vibe
Super easy. Super social. Zero ego.
If you’re a bit clutzy, that’s fine—we’ve all been there. We’ll help you out, cheer you on, and keep things relaxed.
