iRide is a social hub for Toowoomba cyclists. A large part of our social bike scene is to teach new people how to RIDE SAFELY on or off road and all our social group rides are assisted by experienced riders. The rides are designed as fun events and we often enjoy a coffee and a chat afterwards. No rider is left out on the road by themselves to struggle and get back home - " A group ride starts together and finishes together ".

The iRide social rides are FREE and don’t require joining any cycling clubs.
