Melbourne Cycling
Melbourne Cycling is a meetup cycling group founded in 2008 and still going strong today!
They organise recreational bike rides several times a week around Melbourne and beyond and thanks to their volunteer leaders, it’s all for free.
They organise group rides along metropolitan roads and bike paths and sometimes they travel further out of town for country road-rides, rail trails and weekends away.
Experience & rides:
Rides do vary in speed, fitness level and distance so there will be something for most and ride speeds and distances will usually be in the meetup event title so you can choose to attend rides matching your riding style and ability.
Beginners / novices will find the slower and shorter rides more suitable and more advanced riders can find longer and hilly rides to go harder / longer / faster, etc.
Between all our ride leaders (ie event hosts) there are usually enough rides posted for each weekend to suit everyone, weather permitting.
You can find some of Melbourne Cycling’s rides listed on our front page calendar.
Donation:
You can donate $5 annually if you wish to offset our expenses which are mostly the twice a year fee to Meetup that the organiser pays and also covers administration fees.
