Big Family Fun Ride

Lane Cove Council’s Bicycle Advisory Committee presents Lane Cove’s Big Family Fun Ride.

Spring is in the air and with it is the time to enjoy cycling with the whole family at The Big Family Fun Ride! Both routes will be on shared user paths, off-road where possible and away from busy streets.

There will also be multiple skills level courses to choose from and a sausage sizzle.

After you finish your chosen route, all riders will have the opportunity to participate in a cycle skills course organised and run by Pedal, Set, Go.

Please note this event will go ahead in rain or shine.

About the routes

There will be two routes for the Big Family Fun Ride. The two rides are open to all ages with the criteria for selecting your ride being experience and confidence. Riders and parents need to carefully consider riding ability in order to select the most suitable ride. Where possible the rides will highlight Shared User Paths (SUPs) in Lane Cove. All bike riders are requested to be courteous to pedestrians and use their bells to warn them of your approach. It is not a race and all participants must follow the leading cyclist and not attempt to ride ahead of the pack.
