"Two years ago, I fell off my bike and I felt very scared... today is the first time." 💙🚲

This is Grace, and her story is exactly why we do what we do at Neighbourly Ride.

It takes a lot of courage to get back in the saddle after a fall or a long break. That is why our community is built entirely around support, safety and comfort. We are not here to race or count kilometres. Instead, we are here to help you find your feet again at your own pace.

Our amazing volunteers are always there to help out with quick tips on adjusting your gears or navigating quiet streets in a slow, steady group. Hearing that Grace now feels safe, supported and ready to start riding to work is exactly what this community is all about.

If you have a bike gathering dust because you have had an accident or are simply feeling nervous about getting back out there, come roll with us on a Sunday. There is no pressure to make it a regular thing, just drop in whenever you feel like a ride. You will be surrounded by a friendly group of locals who have completely got your back.

A lovely surprise to start the week! 🗞️✨

So, it turns out Neighbourly Ride was mentioned in The Guardian a little while back... and we only just discovered the article this week!

They named us as a top recommendation for anyone looking to build up their confidence on a bike, highlighting that our short, leisurely rides along quiet streets are a great way to build up your strength and meet other riders.

When we relaunched this community, our goal was simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where absolutely anyone could dust off their bike, get outdoors and enjoy riding purely for the fun, connection and health benefits. Seeing that mission recognised on a national stage is incredibly special, and it is all thanks to our amazing riders and volunteers who make every weekend so wonderful.

If you have been thinking about joining us, consider this your official sign to come along!

Our rides are completely slow, social and beginner-friendly. We keep the pace relaxed so everyone can enjoy the winter sunshine and great company, always wrapping up at a local neighbourhood café for a hot coffee and a chat afterwards. ☕🚲

Just moved to Melbourne? Welcome to the neighbourhood! ☕🏙️

Moving to a new city can feel a bit overwhelming, but the best way to find your feet is on two wheels. We recently caught up with Storm and James, who moved to Melbourne and joined one of our social rides to explore their new local area.

For them, it was all about checking out the local culture, discovering the architecture and winding down with a proper Melbourne coffee.

Our short weekly rides are completely free, low pressure and designed to help you meet friendly locals while building your road confidence. You do not need fancy gear or a lot of experience to join the community.
