    Free - not much more of a bargain than that :)

      It's probably just a sultana bun and banana…

          VIC: Abbotsford Convent have a full on breakfast:

          Yum… I was there on the weekend…

          Unfortunately, only a very small number of cyclists will be riding past there on their way to the CBD…

        • odysseus on 14/10/2014 - 22:49

          "I reckon that's the go to place."

          Bit of a long ride from Sutherland or Newcastle though!

    should i have a bike to get this?

    • neil on 14/10/2014 - 18:16

      No, you are encouraged to though. Some councils are promoting walk to work as well.

      • Scrooge McDuck on 14/10/2014 - 20:03

        Will a mobility scooter suffice?

  • grumpyhermit on 14/10/2014 - 18:20

    Most universities are participating as well

    I'd imagine with this rain in Sydney, there won't be many people turning up. :(

  • jv on 14/10/2014 - 20:47

    This is not a good deal for people who work from home…

    • Scrooge McDuck on 14/10/2014 - 23:25

      Yeah! Where's the Alt+Tab to work day?

  • dealmaker on 14/10/2014 - 21:08

    Hey I have a 2 wheeler too, it just has a big engine attached. Does that qualify? ;)

    I'm not riding. In Sydney its like the apocalypse, weather wise. Today is not a good day to be riding.

  • Cheap Steve on 15/10/2014 - 06:49

    Harden up and get on your bikes princesses. It's a free bacon and egg roll.

    In Brisbane, it is also "Look out for the cops as they book you for not having a bike bell day".
