Hello! cyclist here from Melbourne. I started riding a couple of years ago at age 40 as a mean to control my Ankylosing Spondylitis (auto-immune disease that affects my joints), exploring bicycle trails in and around Melbourne. I fell in love with it and it changed my life in the best ways.
I ride about 150km/w on average, mostly on trails, and various gravel, streets, roads, everything. I also see a lot of live music, and post photos from various rides and shows I ride to, etc. I ride almost completely solo, occasionally a weekend ride or biking tour with a couple of friends, but I never compete or do group rides etc. I ride an upright bike due to my joints, so I'm not about speed - I'm about the ride and the exploration.
Particular love for love riding days - at least one >100km ride each month for the past 16 months. Aiming to do my first >200km ride before the end of 2024.
Always looking to follow other cyclists, both here in Melbourne for ride ideas and around the world for inspiration.

Hi, I'm Dom from Austria π¦πΉ, a Non-Elite Nomadic Runner traveling around the world since 2018 and trying to get the best out of myself. I'm sharing my daily training (around 100k/week) and my travels on Strava. Currently training for my first Marathon in next week ("THE AUTHENTIC ONE" - from Marathon to Athens). I'm very excited and motivated. πͺ

Hi! I'm 27F from Italy! I usually hike in the Alps and last summer I hiked one of the oldest and most challenging Alte Vie in Italy... it was a blast!
I rock climb too (I'm quite shitty at it, but just climbed my first multi-pitch route and that was a lot of fun!) and currently want to start training for a trail running project (I'm not a trail runner nor a "normal" runner at all, so that will be fun for sure lmao)
Here's my Strava profile https://www.strava.com/athletes/120790559

Hi there! I am from Basel, Switzerland and looking to find some ride buddies for cycling and also running/ trailrunning. I am 23 years old and study in ZΓΌrich, Switzerland. (I live in Basel and ZΓΌrich) I'll be doing a small road cycling project in Summer 2025, where I'll be cycling from Basel to CHiasso in one day. I'd love to meet some guy that are just as determined and crazy as I am and might even join me for my summer 2026 project, a tour around switzerland on a road bike. (Bikepacking) If anyone would like to meet up, I'd be glad to go for a ride or run! (I also have some trailrunning projects in store, if you're more the runner than cyclist :) ) Cheers!
Here is my strava link:
