Im looking for a second hand eBike as I dont think ill be able to afford a decent brand at good price so looking at second hand. I used to have a cube mountain bike in NZ with the bosch motor. I dont want to buy a dud so any tips or reccomendation would be appreciated!

Have been looking at kalkhoff and lekker that are 6-9 years old, around $1000

Also if you have a decent eBike youre selling in East Brissy, let me know!

Thank you!! 🙏🏽✨

What suburbs in Melbourne can you live car-less e.g. ride to shops, the CBD etc.

So I need a mountain bike, i was looking at 99 bikes and they have some decent deals but I haven't seen any my size yet. I was wondering if now is a good time to buy a mountain bike, or should I wait a bit? Any suggestions at around $600 budget?

I just want a beginner level road bike that I can start using for my fitness goal and casual road trip. Is this ok or can you suggest something similar or better with similar price point? Thanks

Weird question. My husband and I are just finishing up a tour of Australia and NZ. He’s an avid cyclist and the only thing he wanted as a souvenir was a cycling jersey that screamed Australia or NZ. The tour covered a lot of ground in a month. Whenever we had a free minute we checked out bike shops in the many cities we visited but couldn’t find anything. Very little clothing, No jerseys, nothing with obvious Australian themes (or NZ either). He was disappointed and I would love to be able to order something online when we get back to the US. If anyone has any ideas of vendors who sell these things, I would love to hear them.

BTW, we had the time of our lives, loved both countries and were bowled over by the kindness, the cheerful nature and friendliness of the people we met, the beauty of the country and the sensible attitude about so many things. Thanks, mates.

Most days I commute over the Bridge into the City. In the evenings, there are usually a large number of delivery riders around the North End at Milsons Point - sometimes up to 10 of them in a row on the Bridge before the steps. They don't seem to be mid-delivery but rather doing mini laps of the last 20 meters of the Bridge or shuttling up and down the steps.

Aside from being an annoying hazard (riding slow, looking at screens, pulling surprise u-turns, illegal e-Bikes [Rant Over]), I am curious what they are doing. Are they spoofing the delivery apps somehow? Are they trying to enter/change pick up areas e.g. from City to Milsons Pt to find work? Does anybody know what's up?

Hello everyone, I recently had a minor accident where a car hit the bike I use for my daily commute. Thankfully, I'm okay, but the front wheel is now bent. Surprisingly, I can still ride the bike, and everything else seems to be functioning well. At the time, I didn't ask for any contact details because I seemed fine, and the bike appeared to be in good shape. However, I'd prefer not to spend much money on the bike right now as I have a big trip planned. Can anyone recommend a places or shop to fix the wheels of a mountain bike without spending much in Sydney? Around newtown will be perfect thanks everyone.

Any suggestions would be great!

Hi guys im looking at getting into cycling mostly to improve my fitness. I want to get a decent, though inexpencive bike. (So staying away from big w/kmart) and came across the horacio Firefly which looks decent to me ( disclaimer: I know nothing about what makes a good bike)

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Horacio bikes at all?

Hey!

Me and a mate are flying over to Australia in a few weeks and we're driving down Sydney - Melbourne along the coast. We're two guys in our thirties in pretty good shape, we've both done a bit of trekking etc but my friend has never done mountain biking specifically. I'm a hobby mountain biker and have been doing some XC races here in Sweden, no downhill yet though.

We'll have a few hours (half day) of mountain biking in Bright, Victoria. We'll rent the bikes and start out at the trail head. What are some good trail recommendations? And do we need a shuttle pass? Nothing too gnarly / "downhilly" please. 😌🙏🏻

Hey guys, considering purchasing what I believe to be a 2004 Felt F65 as my first road bike (mainly triathlons). It is being advertised for $300. Seems it retailed for over $1000 20 years ago, and looks to be in reasonable condition. Does this seem like a fair deal?

https://www.facebook.com/share/MM5Ky2ZhvFWchEhi/?mibextid=79PoIi Will it be fine for commuting as well?

Hey guys, I'm a new bike rider. I just picked up a relatively cheap fixed gear bike (i wanna ride fixed) for $200AUD on 50% off sale and have been looking at riding for a long time. The issue im nervous for is the fact I've never ridden in traffic (previously only had a BMX but that was when i was 14), and the fact that my area has some decently steep hills. I haven't ridden my bike yet BTW.

Are there any tips for fixie newbies like myself in order to get comfortable braking with my feet and riding near traffic. Also any tips for getting up hills? or just get stronger legs lol.

I've got myself a bicycle recently, and I'd like to ride a little in NSW.
I don't have a helmet, and I need one just to make sure I don't get a fine or something. I'm 45 and I plan to ride in a local park with plenty of paved bicycle trails, and not much on streets and/or gravel. So, I'm looking for something light, cheap and not annoying.

Thanks!

Edit: I've ended up buying $25 helmet from BigW after trying plenty in different places. They are all (un)comfortable in a similar way, weight is also similar (usually pricier are heavier), so I just went with the cheapest option and saved some $ for decent lights.

What's the best way to get to Boondall Wetland from Chermside to Shorncliffe and Redcliffe track?

I'm looking to breakup the mundane and do my first overnight bike trip. My thoughts are to catch a v-line somewhere and then pedal back somewhere near to melbourne. The best I can come up with is train to Bendigo and ride the rail trail to Heathcote and then continue the highway to Wallan. Any suggestions for something less suicidal, hopefully with more trails and less roads. Im not against riding from one regional station to another, or doing a loop back to the station I started at. Just don’t want to backtrack the same route. Around the 150km ish mark would be great 😊

I recently bought an e-bike and apart from very basic maintenance like checking air pressure or cleaning and lubing the chain I know nothing.

What maintenance should I regularly be doing and what are some important things to look out for?

Any resources would be great aswell as i hope to get better understanding of my bike so, I can repair it as needed.

I'm planning a bikepacking trip out west via Lithgow, and the plan is to start at my place in Inner west, go up the blue mountains via katoomba and out. The biggest issue is getting to the mountains, there's no obvious safe roads to get to penrith/blaxland. There's the M7 bike path but that only gets me some of the way there, anyone done similar rides?

I know it's easy to jump on a train to the mountains but I want be able to say "I rode from home to ***"

Hello everyone, I just arrived in Sydney and I was wondering where I can rent a bike for a day trip in Royal National Park. Any suggestion?

Hi All, I’m looking at getting into cycling as a hobby and for general fitness and was looking for suggestions on a good starter bike - something not too expensive but good enough to get me into the sport and get me to ride more. I’ve ridden bikes before, but these were ones from K-Mart, etc. and weren’t of the best quality. I’ll generally be riding on paved surfaces and parks around where I live. I did some research and decided to go with a hybrid commuter bike, but with so many brands and options, it’s difficult to decide which one to go for - so I thought to reach out here. Currently, I have Reid Transit Disc Commuter, Norco Indie 4, Polygon Path 2, Marin Fairfax 1 on my list - all under the $500 price point. What would you guys suggest based on your experience and knowledge? TIA.

Hi all,

I recently bought my first MTB bike ($400+), being a bit of a noob ( I just know how to ride but currently learning about maintenance and care etc), have read about pumping the tyres on recommended PSI levels. So I went to Kmart and bought the only available pump there which is this:

https://www.kmart.com.au/product/foot-pump-with-gauge-42739364/

​

However when I tried pumping, as you can see in the video, the gauge is not moving even though the tyre is getting filled up. I watched videos of similar looking foot pump and I don't see any specific steps that I am missing (the item doesn't come with a manual).

​

1. Do you think its just a broken gauge and its just a matter of exchanging it?
2. Would you rely on Kmart pump/gauge or are they unreliable and inaccurate? I don't want to blow up or explode my tyres just because the gauge is saying its 10PSI but its already about to explode?
3. Just as additional safeguard, is there a way I can manually cross check that the PSI of the Kmart gauge is correct? If I squeeze the tyre, should it not budge or is that too much air?

​

I've recently come across a deal on Gumtree for a Fluid Cit-E E-Bike which includes a stand and helmet that has supposedly only be used twice for $700.

I plan on commuting using this bike as I'm looking to use my car less. The furthest trip I would make would likely be under 20 km for a round trip. On average I commute roughly 50 km a week.

Would I regret getting a lower quality e-bike in comparison to spending the equivalent on a better manual bike. Are ebikes even as much fun as manual bikes in my situation where I'll be doing few kilometers?

Help, I am a complete novice when it comes to understanding all the different brands yet alone the different models/series of the individual components (gears, ect..). I've always ridden a hybrid bicycle (previously owned Giant Roam 2 ) and enjoyed it a lot but sold it. I have NEVER ridden a road bicycle and while I do plan on test riding one first, I need some help choosing one. My maximum budget is around $1600 AUD.

I've come across this and curious if this is a good enough "entry" bicycle. I know there are cheaper ones but I also don't want to cheap out and regret it.
