Bike North 2026 AGM

Sunday 23 August

Wentworth Common, Sydney Olympic Park

Three things to remember...

1. Book a ride:

There are plenty of rides listed on the Events Calendar for you to join - some already waitlisted - so don't delay. And if you want to attend but aren't riding, please ensure to book a spot using the "Attending but not riding" function on the Events Calendar (purely for catering purposes).

Big Rides Day

2. Get your Bike North kit:

The clothing shop is open and sample jerseys will be available to try on.

3. 30th Anniversary festivities:

Be prepared for lunch, cake and a few fun activities. Our 30th Anniversary Social Media photo frame will make an appearance, and rumour has it there may be a special / vintage bike available on display!! Hint: think two British coins....

I am looking forward to seeing y'all there. And don't forget to bring a clean bike.

Bike North Annual Report 2025-2026

Each year Bike North publishes an Annual Report to capture our activities and achievements from across the Club. This includes Rides, Advocacy, Membership, Communications, Finances and Member Awards. This report is written for the Members and we encourage all Members to take a few minutes (perhaps with a cuppa or glass of vino) and read about some of the amazing work that has been done across Bike North over the last 12 months. The 2025-2026 Annual Report is housed in our Document Library and can be accessed HERE

Maintenance

A well-maintained bike is a safe bike and far more enjoyable to ride. As we head towards Spring and Bike North’s Activ8 in September, it’s now time to check that your bike is properly maintained.

Have a look at the following article and ensure your bike is in top condition. Your safety could depend on it.
