WelcomeEach year, over 1,500 organised rides are delivered as part of Bicycle SA’s free Rides Programme.

From Willunga to Gawler and Mt Gambier to the Eyre Peninsula all rides are delivered by our experienced rides leaders. Our Rides Programme is the most comprehensive in Australia – with an experience for everyone–and best of all they are FREE.

These rides are ideal for those who are getting back on the bike after a few years off or those taking it up for the first time. Each of the rides are coded with a degree of difficulty so you know exactly what to expect. But if you’re not quite sure, you can call any of our rides leaders and have a chat with them.

The Rides Programme is also available on our website,
