How it works
10 bikes. 1 day. Non-stop community spirit.
We’re aiming to keep all 10 stationary bikes spinning from 9am to 4pm. Every 30-minute session you book is a direct donation to our charity partners – and a fun excuse to get moving with your mates.
1. Pick your time
Choose a 30-minute slot that suits you. Come on your own, bring a friend, or rally a whole team to book out a bike across the day.
2. Choose your cause
At checkout, select which of our two local beneficiary charities you’d like to support – or split your donation between both.
3. Ride your heart out
Turn up a few minutes early, hop on your assigned bike and pedal. We’ll bring the tunes, a bit of friendly competition and plenty of encouragement.

Need to change your booking?
Just reply to your confirmation email or contact us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help.
Do I need to be super fit to take part?
Not at all. Ride for a Reason is a friendly community event, not a race. You control your pace and resistance, and you can sit and spin gently or push yourself a bit harder if you’d like. If you have any health concerns, please chat with your GP before the event.
Can kids ride the bikes?
Yes, kids are welcome to ride with parental or guardian supervision, provided they can safely use a stationary bike. For younger riders, we recommend riding alongside an adult on a separate bike so everyone stays comfortable and safe.
What should I bring on the day?
Comfortable clothes you can move in, a water bottle, and a small towel if you like. We’ll provide the bikes, music and good vibes. We recommend arriving 10 minutes before your booked time to check in and get set up.
Can I book more than one session or bike?
Absolutely. You can book multiple time slots and even reserve several bikes in the same session for friends, family or workmates. Many teams book a block of sessions to keep a particular bike spinning all day.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Where our beneficiary charities have Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, your donation may be tax-deductible in Australia. You’ll receive a receipt after booking, and we recommend speaking with your tax adviser for personalised advice.
