National Ride2Work Day – 15 October! 🌞🚴‍♂️

National Ride2Work Day has always been one of Canberra’s most popular cycling traditions and Pedal Power is thrilled to bring it back on Wednesday 15 October 2025.

After a six-year pause, it’s time to reignite that cycling spirit and inspire more people to discover the joys and benefits of riding to work. Cycling isn’t just fun — it’s great for your health, your wallet, your mood, and the planet. It boosts fitness, supports mental well-being, lowers stress, and can help you live a longer, healthier life. It also reduces traffic, cuts pollution, and helps create more connected communities.

We’d love to hear from anyone keen to volunteer to lead a ride into Civic whether you commute regularly or are happily retired. If you want to share the love and ease of cycling with those who don’t know where to start, please register your ride and let us know where you’d like to meet others on the morning.

As a part of the Celebrations, we have collaborated with Rideshop Braddon and Mojo Cycle Repairs in a raffle with marvellous prizes to help you ride to work. 

• Rideshop Braddon will be giving away a $500 voucher for their goods and services.
• Mojo Cycle Repairs will be offering free bike checkups on the day, and they will also be raffling off one free bike tune-up.

To be eligible for the raffle, all you need to do is register for the event! If you are chosen to win one of the prizes, we will reach out through email, and we will require you to send a picture of yourself and your bike to receive the prize.

You can get involved in three ways:

• Lead a ride - Email membership@pedalpower.org.au to register a meeting point where you’ll meet others and guide them into the city.
• Ride as a group - organise colleagues or friends to meet up and ride in together.
• Join a ride - click here to find a meeting point near you and ride with a guide to Veterans Park. If your preferred ride isn’t listed yet, check back soon – more rides are being added.

Whichever option you choose, please register so we can track how many people ride, and how many try it for the first time, and celebrate together.

We will finish the morning with a community breakfast in Civic. If you’d like to be involved in making the day a success, please get in touch at membership@pedalpower.org.au.

📅 When: Wednesday 15 October 2025
