BIKEast is the Bicycle User Group (BUG) representing people on bicycles in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Our area stretches from the South Head of Sydney Harbour to La Perouse at the mouth of Botany Bay and west to the fringes of Sydney’s CBD. This area covers Woollahra, Waverley, Randwick & Botany Bay Councils (postcodes 2021-2036).
We have over 1000 members on Meetup and 700 followers on Facebook.
BIKEast is affiliated with Bicycle NSW, the peak body, non-for-profit, member based organisation for recreational cycling in NSW. Their mission is to create a better environment for cycling.
BIKEast lobbies the Local Councils, State Government, and the RMS for better conditions for people on bicycles. We want a high-quality network of safe, convenient and visible cycling routes.
If you want to help or keep in touch with what’s going on, come along to one of our monthly meetings or contact us.
