There aren’t too many times that you’re given something completely free but if you’re anywhere near Perth, Western Australia, this Friday could be your opportunity.
Bikeweek 2007 officially begins in Perth on Friday and I’m very much looking forward to celebrating all things related to cycling.
I’ll be kicking off Bikeweek by being part of the 98.5 Sonshine FM breakfast team broadcasting live from Supreme Court Gardens at the Bike to Work Breakfast. Everyone who cycles in will get a free, healthy breakfast. I’ve been many times before and it’s well and truly worth it. You don’t even have to contend with traffic. If you stick to the cycleways around the river you can make it to Supreme Court Gardens fairly easily.
The breakfast starts at 6:00 Friday morning and goes until around 8:30. We’ll be broadcasting live from the city until 9:00. After that I’ll be dashing back to our Morley studios to do my regular morning programme until midday.
Perth’s biggest annual breakfast is expected to draw around 3000 cyclists. The colourful event celebrates cycling as a healthy life choice and emphasises the benefits of cycling for all ages. The breakfast has become a favourite event for recreational through to elite cyclists.
Bikeweek is an initiative of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and has been a popular fixture on the Western Australian recreational calendar since 1985. Cycle Instead Bikeweek 2007 comprises dozens of events throughout Western Australia.
As well as broadcasting live from the breakfast, 98.5 Sonshine FM will promote Bikeweek throughout the week, highlighting many of the associated events and giving away a bike a day from Monday to Friday next week. If you’re in the Perth area you can click here to enter to and you could win a Giant Cypress 700C comfort bike worth around five hundred dollars.
I hope I’ll see you at the breakfast on Friday morning. Make sure you come up and say hello.

Hey well I’m not in Perth, but over here in Brisbane we’ve got the Bike Week Bike Ride on the 18th. A 60k ride along the Brisbane River to cap off the Bike Week celebrations.
We’ve just finalised our RACQ Biking team to head down next Sunday and represent the Information Services Dept.
My first organised cycle in a while so am looking forward to it.
