So is anyone having a party? Will there be mayonnaise?
Is sbs having a twitter hash tag? Will it be better than Melburn Roobaix
Can’t wait for the showdown between that hot Swiss dude and the sexist commie bastard.

Easter Trading Hours

Image ripped off from The Bike Temple Blog

This weekend we will be closed for the public holidays on Friday and Monday. Business as usual on Saturday (10am to 4pm) and Tuesday onwards. Have a good Easter, the weather forecast looks good so make sure you get some quality riding time in and keep an eye out for all the bunnies, ducks and cocks on the road.

Mudgee Bike Muster

This Easter weekend my family and I are heading off to the Mudgee Bike Muster. I won’t be taking the cargo bike this year, going to use the big red bike with the orange Yepp kiddie seats. So if you are going, make sure you say hello as you cruise past me.

Sydney Brompton Ride With Will Butler Adams, Brompton Managing Director, Saturday March 16

Sorry for the late notice folks, but we’d love to see Sydney’s Brompton Community at Cheeky Transport this Saturday March 16.

Will Butler Adams, Managing Director of Brompton, is visiting Australia and Cheeky Transport would like to invite all the owners of our favourite folding bike out for a ride with Will on Saturday afternoon.

We’ll be meeting at Cheeky Transport (Map) at 4pm on Saturday, then rolling down to The Bar At The End of The Wharf at Walsh Bay for Pimms and Lemonades and a view of the harbour as the sun sets.

We’ll head via Chippendale, Ultimo, Haymarket and The Hungry Mile

Join our Sydney Brompton Facebook Group to stay up to date.

We’d love to see you and your Brompton there.

Rouleur 36 in store now

There is a fantastic piece about the crazy Bavarians who make Leightweight wheels. I know, it doesn’t sound very interesting, but it’s hilarious.

Kitebiking the Outback

The crazy French guys from Soildream came to the shop when they were in Sydney. They are riding around the world on Surly Long Haul Truckers with Rohloff hubs.

We are cycling around the world. We’ve been on the road for 2 years from France. After we cycled a bit of Africa, went to Antarctica and cycled all the length of the Americas and New Zealand, we start on a new challenge in Australia, crossing the Outback in early summer, from Sydney to Adelaide and then to Darwin through Alice Springs. We packed some kites with us to try a new way of travelling : kitebiking ! This is the second part.
