There’s never been a better time to get back into bike-riding! Bicycles are good for your wallet, good for your body, and good for your soul. Along with the amazing group Sydney Bike Communters, we’ve compiled the ultimate list of how to get you back on your bike — and away from driving a car.
And for anyone who doubts that you can show up to events & premiers on a bicycle, look no further than artist and content creator Anahí Sanz. She continously attends red carpet events with the humble bicycle as her preferred mode of transport.
Without further ado, here’s where to take your bike in to get fixed (or even learn how with a workshop!), where to take lessons to help you be a confident rider, and even where to join in on a huge guided bike ride. Did someone say Sydney Bike Rave?!
