Spring Cycle

On Sunday 12 October 2025, the streets of Sydney will be transformed into a moving celebration of community, connection and wellbeing as the annual Spring Cycle takes over the city.

Spring Cycle has a long and proud history in Sydney, with the very first event taking place 42 years ago in 1983. After a four year hiatus due to the impacts of COVID, this family-friendly event makes a long-awaited return as the only charity ride over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and through the heart of the CBD and Inner West on car-free roads.

This year also marks a significant milestone, as Lifeline joins Spring Cycle as its national charity partner. In 2025, Lifeline is experiencing unprecedented demand and every 24 seconds, someone will reach out to Lifeline in crisis. Every dollar raised through Spring Cycle will help Lifeline answer more calls, support more communities, and reach more Australians in the ways that work best for them during their toughest moments.

Spring Cycle is made possible with the generous support of Bicycle NSW, Blackmores, City of Sydney and Transport for NSW, whose shared commitment to community, health, sustainability and safer roads is helping shape a more connected and resilient community.

Cyclists of all ages and abilities are being invited to register from today for the Classic 50km Ride or the 10km City Ride to help raise vital funds for mental health.

The 10km City Ride is perfect for families, beginners and leisure riders who want to experience the thrill of riding over the Harbour Bridge and past some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks including the Sydney Opera House and the historic Rocks area. The ride will finish at Pirrama Park, in a celebration of community with riders coming together to enjoy a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Including a playground for the kids, along with breakfast options and coffee carts to kick start and fuel your morning.

The 50km Classic Ride is for intermediate cyclists and adventure-seekers. It takes in the best of the 10km Ride - over the spectacular Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House and The Rocks, before exploring the diverse Inner West. This ride will culminate in a festival finish at Sydney Olympic Park, with food trucks and live music.
