About Bike Babes:

We are a sassy social cycling club that meet every Tuesday to cycle our city. We keep a steady pace and aren’t afraid to work up a sweat. But we don’t race, we just ride, and we look pretty cute doing it. If you’re keen, here’s the lowdown:

WHEN: Every Tuesday, leaving from Taylor Square at 6:50pm
WHERE: Alternate weeks of Centennial Park laps and routes out of the city limits (Mascot, Marrickville, Bondi etc)
BRING: Lights, helmets, water, coins for pick ‘n’ mix pit stops, and your favourite cycling gear (wear your lycra – especially if it’s of the fruity 80s variety!)

On the first Tuesday of each month we have a special group dinner after riding, somewhere cheap and cheerful in the Surry Hills region.

Be prepared to have a shit load of fun, look and feel great, and hang with like-minded babes who love cycling as much as you do.

If you’ve got any questions, email the babes!

The ride starts and finishes on City Hall Plaza in downtown Boston, with three different routes to choose from: 10, 30 and 50 miles. Sign up now for what’s sure to be the best ride of the year. You haven’t seen the Hub until you’ve seen it on wheels.
