Our passion keeps the wheels turning. WestCycle is committed to developing Western Australia into a happier, healthier and more connected community through bike riding. That’s why we work with our members, industry partners, government stakeholders, educational providers and non-governmental organisations to promote and support all forms of bike riding in WA. Our vision is to see more people riding bikes more often.
What gets us leaping out of bed every day? Cyclists and cycling. WestCycle is a non-profit organisation that represents the bike riding community of Western Australia and their interests. We strive to develop, promote and support all cyclists in WA – from the novice to the seasoned rider – through education, advocacy and the creation of community based and inclusive
cycling events. Happy riding!
WA Bike Month blasts off at Lake Monger (Galup) on Sunday, 1 October with obstacle courses, BMX, trishaws and much more to usher in a month of bike-based and active transport celebrations and education.
WA’s fast-expanding gravel cycling scene has a major new event set among the blooming wildflowers in the rising gravel hotspot that is the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu, just two hours NE of Perth.
We have had a few enquiries about so-called “mini-roundabouts” and their appearance in local streets in Perth. They are featuring in the fairly new Low Cost Urban Road Safety Program by Main Roads, which aims to slow speeds in local streets and reduce crashes at intersections.
The survey, conducted biennially since 2011, offers a snapshot of riding habits, motivations, barriers, and demographic breakdowns.
