23 September 2026	Your Bike North NewsLETTER

Have you Activ8ed as yet?

We are now three weeks into the Activ8 promotion, where we encourage all our members to do at least two Bike North rides in the month. So far, your Ride Leaders have organised 44 rides, an amazing effort. On these rides we have had 118 different members, whilst 84 members have ridden at least twice during the month. Well done, but for Activ8 to be successful we need more members to get out an enjoy Bike North rides.

Looking forward, the weather is looking great for riding, and every day more rides are being added to the calendar.

Remember, at the end of the month,

two members will win one of two $50 vouchers on their favourite bike outlet.

Every ride gives you a better chance of winning. More importantly, every participant will be a winner by enjoying a healthy outdoor activity and, hopefully, setting up a long-term habit of riding and socialising with other Bike North members.

So check the calendar regularly, book in on a ride and make a commitment to Activ8 this September.

Have you Activ8’ed as yet?

Alex Zylberberg has.

See his story below.

Member Name: Alex Zylberberg

How Long Have you been a Member: I joined in January 2023 and have been riding regularly with BN ever since.

What do you like about Bike North: The club and its members focus of safety, fun, exercise and looking out for each other. I have made many new friends by attending rides. I used to ride solo but now almost always ride in groups, which is motivating and adds the enjoyable social aspect.

What type of Bike North Rides do you prefer and why: I prefer 50km+ and looking to go a little faster where possible ie >20km/h avg. My favourite ride is Trilogy.

Did you ride through Winter or are you Activ8ing: Yes! All year round although much prefer sweating to shivering 😊

Outside of cycling, what other hobbies or interests do you have: I love snow skiing although that is an occasional activity. Wrangling two kids and two dogs plus running my own business keeps me busy.

Given the choice, what cycling related activity would you love to do:
I enjoy rail trails and for the last few years have gone away with friends once per year to ride such trails as Otago Central RT (in NZ), Great Victorian RT and Brisbane Valley RT. Our next one planned for 2027 is the Hauraki RT near Auckland.

There is a slight delay in the Bike North clothing shop opening, it is now open, minus the long sleeve jersey. If you were specifically wanting the long sleeve jersey your wait might be a few weeks, but it is coming.
Order our latest design jersey short sleeve available. Team it up with a gilet, socks, cap and arm warmers (thermal or UV) for the full BN look!

OUR JERSEY

Features of the Bike North jersey include:
• Short sleeve “Bronze Comp” jersey in ultra lightweight fabric combines lightness, casualness and breathability. Sleeve length is 4cm longer than a standard jersey sitting just above the elbow, a more relaxed design yet still offers body-hugging fit for comfort.
• Moisture-wicking fabric supports body temperature regulation and comfort
• Three back pockets and one small, zippered pocket.
• Bike North colours and logo.
• Available in a range of sizes from XXS to 4XL.
• You can even adjust the sleeve or torso length (longer or shorter) at an additional cost of $15 for sleeves and $15 for torso (i.e. $30 for both).

Check your sizing using the ‘find your size’ wizard in your selected item by filling in your personal measurements. The more data you enter, the more accurate the recommendation. If borderline between sizes, order the larger size. AGAIN I recommend physically visiting the Cuore store at 26/110 Bourke Rd Alexandria (Mon-Fri mobile +61414691845 office 93102740 check opening times).
