August Flash Rave with Sydney Bike Rave

29/8/2026

This month we're teaming up with Sydney Bike Rave for something a little different — a night ride that's more rolling party than peloton.

Once a month after dark, Sydney Bike Rave takes over the city for a slow, social ride lit up with fairy lights and powered by a rolling soundtrack. There's no racing and no one gets dropped — the pack stays together and looks after each other the whole way. Whatever you ride and however fast you go, you're welcome.

🕗 Saturday 29 August – 5.30PM
📍 Roll out from Prince Alfred Park, Surry Hills at 6.00PM sharp
🚲 Any bike in good working order. Road-legal pedal-assist e-bikes (250W, cutting out at 25km/h) are welcome — no throttle-only or modded bikes.
💡 It's a night ride, so lights on and get there early.
📱 Route drops and weather calls land on Instagram first
🎫 Sign the rider waiver to RSVP: sydneybikerave.org/waiver →

See you out there! 🚲

July's Bike Rave was a blast

Secret 2nd "GreenWay" to Brighton-Le-Sands!

6/6/2026

On Saturday 6 June 2026 we're heading south via a wonderful corridor quietly announced in the shadows of the GreenWay opening!
The M6 Active Transport Corridor stretches 4 kilometres from Kyeemagh to Monterey, wide, separated, and genuinely lovely. It's the kind of infrastructure that makes you wonder why we don't build everything like this.

We'll also be passing through some of the Inner West's cycling infrastructure along the way: the quick-build route on Meeks Road, the Carrington Road cycleway, and the Botany Bay foreshore path.

🗺️ Check out the route: ridewithgps.com/routes/54645516.
🚲 Be sure to bring a functioning bike and your water.
🕗 8.30AM - 1.00PM
📍 We'll gather near the bike parking areas on the Metro side of Sydenham Station.
