BIG BIKE FILM NIGHT

ADVANCE NOTICE The Big Bike Film Night is on again in August - always a wonderful, eclectic, wacky mix of films. You choose the time (Two screenings on the same night) at the Palace Cinemas Moore Park with one cinema starting at 6pm, the other starting at 7pm. Book tickets online: [https://bigbikefilmnight.nz/buy-tickets/big-bike-film-night-australia/](https://bigbikefilmnight.nz/buy-tickets/big-bike-film-night-australia/) The 2026 treasure chest of films includes: • a dazzling mountain bike ride exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Norway, embracing the magic of the midnight sun • an inspiring film that captures the wettest, most miserable riding conditions imaginable • a compelling story about perseverance, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of navigating daily life following a life-altering injury, and how adaptive design has transformed and enriched the journey forward • a moving film that follows a father and son’s journey as they take on one of life’s most meaningful milestones - riding a bike together as a family • and crowning the night off... we all love an underdog tale. This charming, funny, heartfelt film inspires us to believe that we all have the capacity to be unlikely heroes in our own stories. The audience is transported back to the nostalgic 1990’s, to the slopes of the punishing Mont Ventoux, in Southern France, to witness the drama of a battle between two giants ALL in the mix and a great reminder of why we love to ride a bike.

BIKEast AGM & regular meeting - get involved!

Do you live in Sydney's eastern suburbs? Do you want safer, quieter, and more attractive streets, where people riding bicycles can get around safely and easily? BIKEast is the bicycle user group (BUG) representing people on bicycles in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, stretching from South Head to La Perouse and west to the fringes of Sydney's CBD, Redfern, Green Square and Mascot. This area covers Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick and Bayside councils. We lobby local councils, the State Government, and the Transport agencies to provide better conditions for active travel. Our vision is for a high-quality, connected network of safe, convenient and visible bike routes accessed via bike-friendly (low speed) neighbourhood served by well-designed local bike routes. Attend a meeting if you want to get involved and help achieve this vision, or if you just want to find out who we are and what we do.

Have a whale of a time to Kurnell

Meeting at "Kals on Cahill" cafe and parkland (just down from Wolli Creek Station, at 2 Princess Highway, Wolli Creek) at 8.45am for 9.00am start, for a moderate ride via many shared paths and a few quiet streets, past delightful water bay view scenery, as well as a 'spin' (6.5km) along Captain Cook Drive bicycle lane out to Kurnell peninsular (riders must be comfortable with some passing traffic on this stretch). There may be a little 'hop, skip and a jump' through a park around some reparation work near Lady Robinson Beach. Mostly flat, although there's a little climb up to Cape Solander at Kurnell for beautiful views and maybe even some passing whales! We'll pause and re-group at times for photo stops (as it would be a crime not to!), to smell the roses, for a coffee and for some historic spots at Kurnell. The ride will return via Cronulla Station for access to trains back towards the city etc, approx. 40kms. Ride Leader: Your ride leader is Marlene Shepherd - on-ride mobile is 0419 013120.
