We’re super excited about being a part of the Australian Road National Titles event villages.

On Friday you’ll find us in the middle of the action on Lake St, Northbridge along with event sponsors. Come and have a chat and check out some of the earliest bike designs.

Pre 1900 Bicycles

Everybody’s favourite, the penny farthings will do demonstration rides on the criterium course, plus incredible 3-wheelers, early “safety” bicycles and even a replica of an 1817 draisine, the first ever bike with steering.

Out of storage and on public display for the first time decades - if not a century - see what is possibly one of the oldest surviving examples of an 1860s Australian built bone-shaker (pictured below). It maybe even the oldest surviving Australian racing bike!
