Biketober

Next date: Wednesday, 16 October 2024 | 09:00 PM to Thursday, 31 October 2024 | 11:59 PM

We’re taking part in Biketober to promote health, wellness and sustainability, and you’re invited!

The national, month-long cycling challenge held during October encourages you to get on your bike (whether you are a regular or new rider) and log your rides for a chance to win great prizes, like a $3000 bike of your choice or a $4000 bike holiday to a destination of your choice. 

Riding a bike has so many benefits! It:

• supercharges your mental and physical health
• saves money on travel
• protects our planet by reducing carbon emissions
• brings out your competitive side, apparently. 

Register yourself or rally your workmates and register your workplace to join the fun, friendly competition and go into the running to win.

Look out for the Bicycle Network pop-up marquee down by the foreshore. Stop by for some free giveaways, fruit or a check-up from our friendly local bike mechanics.
