Canberra Bike4Fun

All aboard! It’s such a great initiative.

Big celebrations this Wednesday for the joyful Lyneham to school this coming Wednesday, a belated event.

Bike buses are a safe group ride on a set route with pick up stops along the way. Children arrive happy, energised, and ready to learn.

We’ll have free stickers, reflective bands, music, and a bike mechanic doing basic repairs outside Lyneham primary.

Our BikeBus begins at North Lyneham Shops at 8:15 and passes the preschool, Brindabella CC, and Lyneham Primary. Route map here https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=10RlmIeL1KvXrYUMzmM9twtcTUjBs3yg&femb=1

Thank you Chimida for your generous sponsorship, and Walk Cycle Lyneham, and local parents, carers, and supporters for helping us run our wheels of happiness.

Congratulations on your new e-bike purchase Marisa!

Ohhh 😮 this is a fun one….. ✨

It’s been a long time coming….. 🚲

After 4 years, I finally took the plunge and brought an e-bike!!!

The first and last time I rode an e-bike was back in 2022 when I borrowed one through the e-bike library (a fantastic initiative run by SEE-Change, supported by the ACT Government). It’s such a brilliant program, giving anyone in Canberra the chance to borrow a bike and see what it’s all about before making the purchase.👍👍

Fast forward to now… and I have finally made the commitment 🚲 😄

Not being a bike rider generally, it’s going to be a huge learning curve- but my aim is to commute to work in the city when I can (with the side aim of adding in some exercise to my non-existent exercise schedule- amazing what some new year inspo can do 💁‍♀️).

Thanks to Andreas from for your patience working through everything with me!

Dangerous pipe bombs found on public paths in Belconnen.

If you come across one, don’t touch them and call the police immediately.

Missing Trunk Path Connecting Belconnen-Kippax-Ginninderry (Completing Active Travel Requirements in West Belconnen) ACT Legislative Assembly The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly to the need to address the missing cycle (missing link) path in West Belconnen – specifically Kippax Shops to the Belconnen town centre. 

The ABC has published a good article about what a street legal ebike is compared to illegal e-motorbikes.

Hopefully it will help to educate the general public.

I’m worried that Governments will introduce a blanket ban on all ebikes.

What is the difference between an e-bike and an e-motorbike? Noticing a lot of e-bikes around lately? Here's a state-by-state breakdown of the laws about them.

I spent Halloween night going on a spooky bike ride organised by Canberra By Bike!

Everyone’s welcome on our Halloween bike party - Gungahlin edition starting 7pm at the rotunda at Yerrabi Pond on Fri 31st. What spooky songs should we play loudly from our PartyBox speaker?

Good work Marty! Thanks for maintaining the Canberra Centenary Trail👍

Meet Marty: our Canberra Centenary Trail maintenance officer. 👷

Just like roads and cycle paths, the Canberra Centenary Trail needs ongoing maintenance and improvements – and Marty knows this 138-kilometre walking and cycling route like the back of his hand. 🙌

👋 Make sure to give Marty and his colleagues a wave if you see them mowing the trail corridor, clearing fallen trees, installing damaged or stolen signs, renewing trail surfaces, cleaning out drains or scoping improved alignments. And if you see a section of trail that needs improvement, chances are it’s already on Marty’s radar. ✅

With the weather warming and the wildflowers blooming, 🌼 spring is the perfect time to explore the trail – either by foot 🚶 or mountain bike. 🚲 We’ve even updated our trail maps (with Marty’s help, of course) to give you the smoothest possible adventure. 🗺️

➡️ Discover the trail and check out the new maps at https://www.parks.act.gov.au/find-a-nature-park/canberra-centenary-trail

Please keep an eye out for Trixie!

Sad to report that our beloved Co-Op mascot Trixie was taken on Sunday night. The incident happened close to midnight. If you have any information that could help us to get Trixie back please DM us or email [email protected]

Trixie is an important part of the Co-op vibe and history so we would be so grateful for any and all assistance!
