🍽 Dinner optional from 6:00 pm | Talk begins at 7:30 pm

What do recycling, geocaching and cycling have in common? For long-time Pedal Power member Sep Westerhuis, they’re all part of helping make Canberra a little greener.

Join us for our next Pedal Power Social Evening as Sep shares how he has combined his love of cycling with practical efforts to care for the ACT environment.

Over the past several years, Sep has spent time on his bike collecting bottles and cans for recycling while travelling around Canberra. More recently, he has added geocaching to his cycling adventures, giving him another reason to get out on two wheels and explore the ACT.

In his talk, Helping the Environment on Your Bicycle, Sep will share some of his experiences and the simple ways cycling can be combined with looking after our local environment.

He hopes his story will inspire others to get on their bikes, explore Canberra and find their own ways to make a positive difference along the way.

Whether you're interested in bike touring, folding bikes, or simply enjoy a good travel story with plenty of humour, this promises to be an entertaining evening for cyclists of all kinds.

Questions and discussion will follow the presentation.

What happens when you swap the Hume Highway for quiet country roads, a folding bike, and a daily mission to find the perfect cream bun?

Join us for our next Pedal Power Social Evening as Mike Textor shares the story of his unique cycling tour from Melbourne to Canberra on a Brompton folding bike.

A long-time cyclist and Brompton enthusiast, Mike will recount his journey from Melbourne's CBD to Canberra via scenic backroads, staying close to the Hume Highway while avoiding it wherever possible.

Along the way, he'll share the joys and challenges of touring on a small-wheeled folding bike, the memorable places and people encountered on the ride, and his self-appointed daily challenge of tracking down at least one cream bun and cappuccino.

Whether you're interested in bike touring, folding bikes, or simply enjoy a good travel story with plenty of humour, this promises to be an entertaining evening for cyclists of all kinds.

Course details

To build lifelong cycling habits we need to teach children to ride when they are very young. However, the reality is that many parents don’t have the skills or time to help their kids get started!

Big Skills for Small Bikes is a learn to ride course for younger children, which focuses on teaching parents and carers how to get their kids riding confidently and safely.

This is a beginner course best suited to kids who are not yet riding on their own unaided.

The program uses a curriculum developed by a Cycling Australia coach and is targeted toward parents and carers with children aged 3 – 8 years. Adults attend the training sessions with the children and are provided with resources to empower them to continue to teach and support their child to develop bike skills after they have completed the course.

The course has been developed due to community demand for learn-to-ride programs for pre-school and lower primary aged children.

💛 Need a little help to join this course?
We believe everyone should have the chance to ride! If cost is a barrier, you may be eligible for a subsidised spot through our Pedal It Forward program.

Join us for our next Pedal Power Social Evening as member Noel shares an unforgettable cycling journey through one of the world’s most fascinating destinations: Japan.

Tuesday 21 April
Dinner optional from 6:00 pm | Talk begins at 7:30 pm
Southern Cross Club Woden

Last May, Noel, his partner, and three friends boarded the fast train from Tokyo to Onomichi, near Hiroshima, before setting off on an extraordinary 19-day cycling adventure. Over five days, they explored the stunning Seto Inland Triangle, followed by a further 14 days riding around the Inland Sea and Lake Biwa, passing through Osaka and Kyoto along the way.

From historic port towns and peaceful rural countryside to temples and hidden corners rarely seen by tourists, this is a unique opportunity to hear what makes Japan one of the world’s great cycling destinations.

Noel will also share insights into the planning, preparation, and adaptability needed for an international bike tour including navigating the language barrier, street signs, currency, accommodation, and yes, even sleeping on the floor. Thankfully, they drive on the left.

On Saturday 29 November, Pedal Power has free rides for older less mobile Canberrans in our Danish trishaws pedalled by our volunteer Pilots. It’s all about cycling slowly to sense the environment, to chat with people along the way, to tell stories, and to reach across generations. 🚲✨

Sign up here:

So come along and bring an older parent or friend or a grandchild you'd like to take for a gentle ride around beautiful Lake Ginninderra. It’s the perfect chance to slow down, reconnect, and make memories together.

Daring the Outback

"For the past thirty years, a small cycling club in Broken Hill, the Silver City Bush Treadlers, has organised an outback, mid-year ‘Dare’ bike ride which raises money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, now closing in on one million dollars. Derek has taken part in the last four ‘Dare’ bike rides and will talk about the character of these rides, including the outback environments, history, the operation of grazing properties and the camaraderie of cyclists on the track."
