How AussieVelo began

Having cycled toured in New Zealand and Europe on my trusty Vivente World Randonneur, I came to love touring by bicycle and the ease with which information was available for the novice touring cyclist in Europe.

Back home in Australia, I found there is information available, but it is so disparate and difficult to bring together, and generally just accounts of people's rides. All good stuff but, difficult to work through if you don't know the country, and particularly if you don't know the language.

That was 10 years ago, and little has changed.

So, AussieVelo is reinvigorating, with the main aim of improving the provision of information for touring cyclists looking for information on bicycle touring throughout Australia.

AussieVelo objectives:

  • provide a connected and informed network of long-distance bicycle touring routes

  • provide a central source of information for users of the touring routes and for businesses along the touring routes

  • provide opportunity for rural communities to diversify business and cultural development

  • provide a safe and enjoyable bicycle touring experience for all users
