    McDonalds is offering 50cent cones

      There's a catch though. You have to be dressed from head to toe in the tightest lycra possible.

        it's like wearing nothing at all!

    Do we have to appear to be riding to work? Interested in going to Gordon Station, but I'll be going by train.. What do they expect though?

    • 2ndeffort on 11/10/2017 - 16:59

      Would have thought at the very minimum….a bike!

    • dust on 11/10/2017 - 17:11

      It does seem a bit odd to have the ride to work breakfast at a train station!

      • Cliche Guevara on 12/10/2017 - 13:24

        Some people commute with a combination of transport options - it's not that unusual.

    • No on 11/10/2017 - 17:18

      Perhaps someone could bring a bike and keep it around the corner then everyone can go one by one with the bike?

      • arcticmonkey on 11/10/2017 - 18:31

        In Melbourne, you could just borrow an oBike.

    • Jase83 on 11/10/2017 - 18:10

      Just rock up in lycra!

    • pennypincher98 on 11/10/2017 - 20:17

      Wasn't expecting so many negs but why would they put a bike event right at a train station? It's crowded enough as is without all these bikies in Lycra and the full breakfast and coffee!!

  • itsfree on 11/10/2017 - 17:00

    Of course lousy Kingston Council haven't got anything 🙄

    A real OzBargainer would hit them all up.

    What's a free bike check, I wonder…

      "Yep, that's a bike!"

    • odysseus on 11/10/2017 - 19:35

      Check basic things like brakes aren't worn, gears are fine and oil the chain as needed.

    Do motorcyclists count?

    • imurgod on 18/10/2017 - 07:14

      No, they can keep up with traffic and don't break road rules.

  • dm01 on 11/10/2017 - 17:23

    Nice post, Neil, thanks!

  • WizardofOZ on 11/10/2017 - 17:27

    Great post, OP!

  • idonotknowwhy on 11/10/2017 - 17:39

    Grab an O-Bike for the occasion

    No thanks… not going to play roulette with my life in peak hour traffic just for a free breakfast.

    Walking 10 metres to get to work in my home office, or riding 10km to get to my local council's free breakfast?

    • JetBombat on 11/10/2017 - 19:14

      Why not both?

    • BigLeviathan on 15/10/2017 - 00:57

      Drive a car with your bike rack, park nearby the location, grab free breakfast and go back to your home office

    • Lv80 on 17/10/2017 - 10:36

      It's called exercise!!
      If you work from home enjoy having more time to do dedicated exercise instead of sitting in a car.
      What's the point of your post?

    And Australia's richest council, which proudly touts its 10 year "Cycle Strategy and Action Plan" is not participating. Slow clap for Clover Moore and the City of Sydney.

      It's weird since they have previous years. Not sure if there's some dispute somewhere…

    Also note City of Vincent (Perth) is hosting a breakfast a day later, presumably to cater to people like me who like to make it to all of them. See https://www.vincent.wa.gov.au/events/ride-to-work-bike-break…

      • BigLeviathan on 15/10/2017 - 00:58

        Damn thats expensive device…perhaps buy this take a photo and drive to the spot for free breakfast

    • hell0 on 11/10/2017 - 22:34

      I thought your husband takes you every morning?

    • Lv80 on 17/10/2017 - 10:36

      Go for a ride in the morning!! Pretty simple logic huh!

  • sickre on 12/10/2017 - 07:09

    So what do you need to do to claim these breakfasts? Do they need to see your bike, or could you just rock up with a helmet and sporty looking clothes?

    • [Deactivated] on 12/10/2017 - 11:21

      I was wondering that. A bike check on on my 'air' bike wouldn't take long.

  • DealsyMcDealsalot on 12/10/2017 - 08:56

    For the SA one:

    "Enjoy a FREE coffee and breakfast at Hindmarsh Square/Mukata (SW quadrant) between 7-9am on Wednesday 18 October - courtesy of Adelaide City Council and Australian Bananas

    There will be a range of stallholders, special guests, activities and giveaways. "

    • neil on 12/10/2017 - 09:25

      Thanks, updated.

  • Rhyno on 12/10/2017 - 12:17

    Not worth it, I've done a few of the Ride2Work day breakfasts over the years in NSW and WA, the 'breakfast' consists of a free banana, mini bran flakes box or stale raisin bun from Bakers Delight, they usually have a free coffee van but typically has 1000 cyclists waiting in line for it. Cairns seems to be an exception with Bacon on offer, but skip otherwise.

  • pankbiet on 12/10/2017 - 12:53

    What about dive bombing Magpies?

    • neil aus on 13/10/2017 - 20:21

      They're free seasonally, each spring/summer. Just wear a cycle helmet to claim.

  • infinite on 12/10/2017 - 13:27

    I called up my local option to see if there was a bacon limit for the free breakfast, but was told they'd only be serving glazed pastries and coffee……… What kind of booolsheeeit is that?

  • [Deactivated] on 12/10/2017 - 14:20

    I go to free breakfasts everytime they are on.
    They might not be luxurious but, free! We're on ozbargain right? Free is a bargain!

    • neil aus on 13/10/2017 - 20:39

      It is the ozbargain way, I'm still wondering how @Rhyno managed to get to WA, NSW and Cairns, for the free breakfasts. That's commitment! And that's the ozbargain spirit!

    The weather in Melbourne is perfect tomorrow, 16 min to 30 max. It will be Ride From Work Day for me.
