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.

Questions and discussion will follow the presentation.
