Here is your list of Bike Fun events and more. Love to see you on a ride soon! Bike Fun rides mostly go at a social pace, Some rides are off-road recreational, some are on-road mini-masses. Food and moderate alcohol consumption are often featured. We also list rides organised by others, usually with a link to their website.

Meeting place: St Ambrose church 287 sydney Rd
We don’t normally carry news of meetings on Bikefun but just this once, we’ll tell you how to get involved in helping to make Sydney Road safe, fun and full of life. Revitalise Sydney Road has produced a plan that provides safe, protected bikelanes from Brunswick Road to Bell St, wider footpaths, less delay for trams and better use of parking off Sydney Road.
As we saw down at Acland Street St Kilda, traders are very apprehensive about removal of parking but the results, whether in Acland St or in lots of other places, are always positive for retail. The introduction of disability access tram stops means that planning is underway for changes in Sydney Road. Get involved in the campaign for a better Sydney Road for everyone.

Melburn Roobaix is furthest thing from a race, in distance, speed or spirit. While the cobbles feature heavily, and the ride also concludes in a velodrome, this is a day to rekindle the wonder of your youth spent exploring the neighbourhood, hanging out with friends, making new ones and discovering a part of the city you never knew existed.
Dress up, ride whatever you like, the wilder the better with prizes awarded to the ‘cutest couple’ and the ‘most awesome foursome’. Other prizes to be won are for ‘craziest contraption’, ‘dirtiest rider’ and ‘Spirit of Roobaix’ – you can even ‘Win your weight in Beer’ thanks to Temple Brewing.
