| With the gentle hum of two wheels in line,
An organisation began, quite benign.
12 bike riders met to form a BUG,
To serve northern Sydney as a club.
To promote safe cycling, a common bond,
Volunteers all planning for then, and beyond.
For the Club colour, they happened upon purple,
That colour to date, has come full circle.
Over the years, links have been weaved,
Bike North the Club, has much achieved.
Three decades on, groups are within -
Advocacy, Coaching, Exec, leaders akin.
With rides a-plenty every week,
Choices for the strong, choices for the meek.
Climbing out of gorges, or as flat as a tack,
A leader will lead, out and back.
And when, the Leader stops for a coffee or a tea,
Nowhere else the group would rather be,
Than with like-minded people in hi vis gear,
Recounting tales of blood, sweat and good cheer.
Sharing interests, stories and passions alike,
Centring all is the humble bike.
With a membership force continually thriving,
Congrats to Bike North - 3 decades surviving. |
