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.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup connects people through local events and communities. It's a platform where you can discover groups with shared interests, join them, and participate in both online and in-person activities, enhancing your social life around hobbies or new pursuits.

Finding biking events near you is easy with Meetup. Simply enter 'biking' and your location into the search bar. You'll see a list of upcoming events or active groups that gather in your area, allowing you to connect with fellow biking enthusiasts.

Yes, you can join multiple biking groups on Meetup. This way, you can explore different types of biking activities, meet a wider range of people, and optimize your chances of finding events that suit your preferences and schedule.

The suitability of trails varies by event. Many biking groups specify the skill level needed in their descriptions. You can find groups catering to beginners, intermediate, or advanced riders, ensuring you choose the right events for your expertise.

Downhill biking events usually involve a group meeting at a trailhead and riding down specific trails. They are often organized by hosts with a passion for biking, making it an exciting way to improve your skills and meet like-minded riders in Sydney.

Meetup itself is free to use, but some events may have fees to cover costs such as venue rentals, equipment, or refreshments. Event listings usually mention any attendance fees, so you can plan accordingly before signing up.

Most biking events require participants to bring their own bikes. However, check the event details as some may involve bike rentals or organize in partnership with local biking stores where you could rent needed equipment.

No problem! You can RSVP 'Not Going' to any event you’ve signed up for. Meetup offers flexibility, allowing you to both plan in advance and withdraw your attendance if your schedule changes last minute.

Meetup isn’t just about connections—it's about community building through group activities. While it won't find specific friends for you, participating actively in events increases your chance of meaningful social interactions.

Absolutely! Hosting an event is a great way to bring biking enthusiasts together. Once you set up a group on Meetup, you can schedule events, manage attendees, and even promote your happenings to attract a larger biking community.

Event frequency varies based on organizer activity. Some groups host weekly rides, others might plan monthly meet-ups. By joining groups, you can receive notifications about upcoming events and participate regularly.

Most downhill biking events are outdoor by nature. However, some groups might organize technical workshops or gear discussions indoors at local shops or cafes, offering a different facet of the biking experience.

Availability depends on the current groups active in Sydney. While there's a good spread across skill levels, not every terrain type might have a group actively holding events at all times.

Event quality can vary based on the organizer and attendance. It's helpful to check reviews, attend a few events, and eventually settle with groups and organizers whose events you enjoy.
