  1. I'm coming to Canberra in January to see the in-laws. Could someone tell me if it's possible to hire a cheap roadbike for a few weeks and if so where from?

    Also, does anyone fancy meeting up for a ride / show me around etc.

    I am *not* an axe-murderer.

    I would highly recomend going. Also on the Friday they have the Be Active Tour, costs you about $100, and you get to do the same route as the guys on the tour. It may seem alot but you get a really cool jersey (high quality) and full support along the way, food,water, sports drink the lot.

    I have been on the last two and it was one of the best just go for it rides I have ever been on. 😄

    if your in the area drop a message

  8. Not from Canberra, but visit a few times a year. Great city for cycling, with paths EVERYWHERE.

    Nice ride is to follow the path around Lake Burley Griffin - around 25-35km depending on which bridges you use to cross the lake. A few hills to climb as well - Mt Ainslie and Black Mountain are easily accessible from the main part of town. There are quite a few bike shops - should have no problem finding one when you get there. Lots of off road stuff too.
