The Big Bike Film Night takes us around the world featuring people who love bikes in all their forms and this year a Tasmanian adventure-activist is queen of the screen.

An era has come to an end, with the Victorian office of Bicycle Network moving from Melbourne CBD to Abbotsford.

The City of Hobart on Monday passed its annual plan for next year, with a handful of cycling projects making the cut.

A new path along Queens Walk, work to begin on the Bellerive ferry terminal upgrade, a future path for Margaret Street being planned and Bicycle Network teams up with UTAS to help students try an e-bike.

The Tasmanian Government has released designs for five small projects to improve access to the Intercity Cycleway in Glenorchy.

The City of Hobart’s pioneering E-bike Library has celebrated its first birthday, with close to 10,000 km travelled by the bikes over the past year.

New bike counts from across Melbourne show that significantly more people have taken to riding in the past month, in the wake of the growing cost-of-living crisis.

Preliminary figures from the 2026 Super Tuesday count show a 19% increase in the number of e-bikes on roads nationally, compared with 2025.

Many Tasmanian bike shops are seeing an increase in interest and sales of e-bikes in response to the fuel crisis and general cost of living pressures.

On footpaths, speed limits for e-devices will be reduced to 10km/h, and a new offence will make it illegal to ride near pedestrians without due care.
