Candy Cranks is a collaboration of female riders from around the globe giving insight to bike culture in their home cities.
Compared to other cities around the world Sydney is not a particularly bike friendly city, although it’s currently going through some changes and improvements. A lot of women find the prospect of cycling on Sydney roads daunting. By showing how other females around the globe cycle for all different reasons whether it be to commute, for fun, fitness, sport, socialising or just cruising to the local cafe, we hope to encourage other girls to get out there and start spinning!

I work for the Bicycle Film Festival in NY, Im a female, I ride bikes and im originally from Brisbane Australia!
I just want to say that since working with the BFF I have been exposed to many different cycling communities in many different cities and im happy to report that the female contingent is getting stronger and stronger.
Ride on and hopefully catch up with you at the BFF!
