Explore Sydney by Bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We run regular weekend rides and occasional mid-week rides to all parts of Sydney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also run tours and rides in country NSW and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Ride Leaders are accredited with Bicycle New South Wales. They are dedicated to showing you parts of Sydney you may have never seen on, wherever possible, safe roads and paths. Some road experience is assumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are rides of varying levels, to suit beginners and experienced or stronger riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We generally wait up for slower riders on the easier rides and keep the group together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New riders welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
