Bicycle Buddy Convergence
Sunday 16 November at 9am-11am
Bicycle Buddies will be holding the inaugural Illawarra Bicycle Buddies Convergence this Sunday, November 16 at 9am!
This is an exciting opportunity for women and non-binary cyclists to connect over coffee and share biking experiences.
Kick off with a social ride-in from North Wollongong Station at 8.30am, or meet us at Ugly Duckling Cafe at 9am. Enjoy a free coffee (courtesy of iBUG), play Bicycle Buddies Bingo, and hear inspiring stories from fellow cyclists. You might even meet your next Bicycle Buddies mentor or mentee!
Following this, we'll meet up at the UOW Cycling Club workshop for a basic maintenance skills workshop! We'll be going through fixing tyres, tubes, brakes and basic tuning to keep your rides going smoothly.
Whether you've already registered for Bicycle Buddies, already got a Buddy, or just looking to learn more, all are welcome.
