Get involved and support our Ride Leader training

30 August 2026

  • Come along, meet, support Bicycle NSW and our Sydney Ride Leader community
  • 9am to 2pm at Sydney Olympic Park
  • Bring your own bike
  • Lunch provided
  • Help our Ride Leader candidates experience a range of situations that might happen on a ride

What's required?

There will be 9 Ride Leader candidates trained on the day.

Volunteers will be assigned to groups of 6-9 people to simulate a group ride.

You will be assigned a persona and some actions to carry out during the ride. These personas and actions relate to possible incidents that may happen on a group ride and are intended to prompt the Ride Leader candidate in thinking through the actions required.

Want to come along but don't want to be a volunteer?

Feel free to come along on the day and meet Bicycle NSW.

Why is the map upside down?

Because Yvonne made the map and that's how she likes to see the route.
