Share the folding passion on MONA ride

Folding bikes evoke passionate likes and dislikes, but if you are the former you’ll love our Flight of the Folders ride along the Intercity Cycleway to MONA this month. There are also easy e-bike rides and some jaunts into Hobart’s outskirts, while the northern TBUG riders continue to clock up the kilometres in their fast-paced Wednesday morning rides.

Get involved in social rides

If you would like to be one of our social ride leaders, please email our Rides Coordinator with your contact details and what sort of riding you are interested in and we'll let you know when the next Ride Leader Skills Development Workshop is scheduled.

You don't have to be super fit or into competitive riding, our rides are a mixed bag depending on the interests of our ride leaders. They offer everything from short 1–2 hour rides, with stops along the way, to day-long excursions.  

Our ambassador routes have been developed by our social rides coordinator Di with help from other riders. It’s another way of helping more people to ride if you don’t’ have the time to run regular social rides.
