About

Celebrating bikes in everyday life

Bikefest is produced by The Squeaky Wheel, a grass roots producing and advocacy initiative devoted to taking the sport out of transport.

Our vision is for bike riding to be a mainstream transport choice in Australian culture, and our mission is to promote bike riding as inclusive and delightful through cultural engagement.

We present an annual festival (Bikefest), a bicycle valet parking service (Roll Up Bicycle Valet) and activities throughout the year in partnership with cultural, industry and community organisations. 

2012 Melbourne Bikefest represents a new direction for us, with 9 key projects staged in partnership with other major events, organisations and communities of bike riders.

Our program encompasses fashion, food, film, performance, shopping, talks, rides, art, design and advocacy projects in a month-long celebration of life on two wheels.

You can view the festival content via the PROGRAM page, or plan your outings via the CALENDAR.

Our goal is to normalise bike riding within mainstream cultural life.

The vast majority of Bikefest events are FREE for you to attend.

Join us for the ride!
