Willoughby City Council is urging residents to dust off their bicycles and join the nationwide cycling challenge, Biketober. This initiative aims to inspire individuals to rediscover the joys of cycling while promoting a healthier lifestyle and a cleaner environment.

Biketober is a friendly and inclusive cycling challenge that invites people of all ages and skill levels to participate. Participants can earn points by logging their rides and tracking their progress on the leaderboard, adding an element of friendly competition to the experience.

Cycling offers numerous benefits, including reducing one’s carbon footprint, improving physical fitness, and supporting a cleaner environment. 

Willoughby City Council has online resources including bicycle routes and paths throughout the Willoughby Local Government Area.

The “Rusty Riders” workshop on 22 October suits anyone feeling a little rusty. Participants will practice cycling skills off-road at Bicentennial Reserve, including a guided ride through the picturesque Flat Rock Gully nature reserve.

An undercover Facility in Chatswood allows bicycle riders to secure their bicycles, use amenities and lockers and undertake minor maintenance and repairs to their bike.
