Bike City Events, Projects and Partners
We hosted the UCI Road World Championships from the 17th-25th September. Which showcased international riders looking to score that rainbow jersey glory!
The MS Gong Ride, now in its fourth decade, is an Aussie cycling institution. Join 10,000 riders each November on one of the most spectacular road routes in the country (52km or 79km), finishing by the beach in Wollongong. Partnering with the Disability Trust, a CycleAbility ride has also been incorporated.
Cycle Tours NSW is based in Wollongong, offering tailored group or personal rides in the Illawarra, Southern Highlands and Snowy Mountains for social, adventure, mountain biking and e-bike enthusiasts.
Bike Friendly Community Partners
Wollongong is now one of only 20 Bike Cities around the world, including Vancouver, Paris, Copenhagen and Glasgow. Wollongong is proud to be the first Australian city, and the first regional city, to receive this prestigious label.
Destination Wollongong is working with Wollongong City Council to activate the Bike City status and ensure that the community benefits in a variety of ways from this prestigious label.
The Bike City Community Partners program was established to engage with a variety of community organisations who, in some way, promote participation in cycling in Wollongong. The Community Partners meet regularly with Destination Wollongong to be briefed on Bike City events and projects, share their cycling activities and create synergies with other partners, that has seen productive collaboration.
The Bike City Community Partners are listed here – for members of the community to contact should they be interested in being involved with them.
