The Bike Bus Northside route follows the C1 and C8 cycle routes from Southwell Park in Lyneham (corner Mouat St and Northbourne Ave), through the National Triangle in Parkes, and finishes at the Italian Cultural Centre on National Circuit in Forrest. Ride leader Paris works in Deakin, so is happy to accompany anyone who works there, too. This route is mostly on separated paths, but uses footpaths in the National Triangle and behind National Circuit because cars. Southwell Park is a designated Park and Ride stop, meaning you can park your car there all day for free. There are many offices and childcare centres along this route, and if you've never thought you could ride a bike to the office/kiddo drop-off, now's your chance to see that you can. If you don't have a bike that can carry other people, I recommend joining the Canberra Electric Bike Library and using one of their cargo bikes. (https://see-change.org.au/cbrebikelibrary) This ride is meant to be a social activity aimed at people who've not ridden to their workplace before, but are keen to start. We won't ride fast, and you don't need any special clothing. Wear whatever is comfortable, and bring several locks if you have them to secure your freedom machine at your destination.
