Pedal Power ACT Canberra’s voice for riders. Pedal Power ACT strives to protect and promote the importance of bike-riding to the ACT community. Authorised by I.

Pedal Power ACT represents the interests of people who ride bikes in the ACT, and the many more who would ride if it were easier and safer to do so. Pedal Power ACT works collaboratively with its members, stakeholders, the community and government to achieve this goal. More people riding bikes in the ACT would improve the health of our population, help the environment by reducing pollution and ease pressure on congested traffic networks. Making the ACT a better place to ride a bike will bring financial reward to the local economy through cycle tourism opportunities, and increasing custom for local businesses. Pedal Power ACT wants more Canberrans riding bikes, more often, for a better community. Ross, Pedal Power ACT, Canberra

Changes to city cycling routes start this weekend 🚧

If your usual ride takes you along Commonwealth Ave or Northbourne Ave, plan ahead for these light rail construction closures.

🚲 Commonwealth Ave from Saturday 17 October
The northbound on-road cycle lane between Albert St and Vernon Circle will close. Traffic will be reduced to one lane for approximately five weeks, but the cycle lane is expected to remain closed beyond that period.

The median crossing near Albert St will also close to people walking and riding. Use the alternative crossing at Barrine Dr.

🚧 Northbourne Ave: two weekend closures
Northbourne Avenue will close in both directions between Vernon Circle and Cooyong St/Barry Dr:
• 8pm Friday 16 October – 6am Monday 19 October
• 8pm Friday 23 October – 6am Monday 26 October

Local access will be maintained between Alinga Street and Cooyong St/Barry Dr. A further southbound closure between Bunda St and Alinga St is scheduled for 1am–5am on Sunday 1 November.

Check your route before you ride. Allow extra time and follow detour signage:

Pedal Power is seeking clearer cycling directions and detour signage, including confirmation of access at London Circuit. We’ll share updates as they’re confirmed.

Ride into spring, Canberra! ☀️🚲

The sunshine is making a comeback, and we love to see it. If your bike’s been taking a winter break, give it a little attention before heading out.

Your spring bike checklist 👇

✅ Tyres: Check the pressure, pump up if needed and look for cuts, cracks or embedded glass.

✅ Brakes: Test each brake separately and check that it stops the wheel it operates.

✅ Chain: Check it moves smoothly. Clean and lubricate as needed, wipe off excess lubricant and keep it away from brakes and braking surfaces.

✅ Wheels and fittings: Make sure your wheels, saddle and handlebars are secure.

✅ Lights and bell: Test your lights, charge or replace batteries if needed, and give your bell a ring.

Something damaged, loose or not working properly? Get it checked and repaired before riding. Your local bike shop can help.

Then pick your spring outing! 🌼
