10 Great Rides

This Bike Month we want to encourage you to try something new and a great way is to give one of our 10 Great Rides a try!

With something for everyone from beginner and easy routes, to advance and challenging, you are sure to find a route for you. Aim to give one new route a try each weekend over October.

We will list each of these rides over the month so check back for inspiration soon!

Schools Quick Grants - Bike Month

This October, in recognition of WA Bike Month, the City would like to support Albany schools in getting students and their families walking, riding and scooting with the opportunity to apply for the Schools Quick Grants.
In lieu of the Department of Transport deferring their Bike Month Grants, the City offered up to $400 for events and activities that encourage the school community to ride to and from school during October. 
We were so excited to see the great ideas and award grants to two local schools. Watch this space as we share their great projects with you over Bike Month.
In the meantime, the easiest way to get your school more active is the supported and fun program Your Move which gives your students, teachers and P&C the support to get students and families walking, cycling and scooting.
