Frequently asked questions
Details of our social rides and downloadable routes are listed on the Ride With GPS website.
What is Ride With GPS?
Ride with GPS is a navigation and route planning website and app, dedicated to high quality riding experiences.
Using GPS technology and route sharing, Ride with GPS shares community generated routes, voice navigated routes and cue sheets to help you get riding across the state.
Bicycle Network chooses Ride with GPS for the useful features, regular updates and helpful support.
Is access free?
Setting up an account with Ride with GPS is free and can be used to RSVP for events and access public routes. Paid premium subscriptions are offered through Ride with GPS, however, Bicycle Network Tasmania does not use these features.
With Bicycle Network Tasmania’s Ride with GPS Club account, you get access to all the features of a premium Ride with GPS subscriber for all Bicycle Network Tasmania routes and rides. Access to the club is inclusive for all Bicycle Network members.
If you are not a Bicycle Network member, you can still access our range of free Ambassador routes. This option is perfect for visiting Tasmania, or trying out the app before moving to our member club.
How do I sign up to the Bicycle Network Tasmania Club?

What are the advantages of Ride with GPS?
We use Ride with GPS for its useful voice navigation, integration with Strava and other popular riding apps, and insightful dashboard. Not to mention, it is simple for our Social Ride Leaders to make and share their favourite routes.
If you have favourite rides you think we should know about, why not share them with others by becoming a Social Ride Leader?

Ambassador routes
Are you a visitor or casual cyclist who wants to visit one of Tasmania’s premier destinations?
Our Ambassador routes are specifically designed to showcase some of the most beautiful bike rides and exciting destinations Tasmania has to offer.
And we’ve collated links from councils, bloggers and other organisations about paths, routes and riding experiences, including the 3-week Giro Tasmania ride. There is also practical routes into Hobart and to get to the ferry for people who want to swap a car trip for a bike.

Try an e-bike
Are you interested in getting an e-bike but want to go for a ride on one before making up your mind?
Bicycle Network members can book a session on an e-bike, with one-on-one support from our experienced and friendly e-bike volunteers.
We can ride up into hilly West Hobart from the office at 210 Collins Street to show you the real power of an e-bike to flatten the hills.
If you are not already a member you can join for free for one month to cover your session.
