As a part of the NSW Government’s 2022 ‘Reconnect’ Seniors Festival (March 25 – 3rd April 2022), the Kiama Bicycle User Group (KBUG) is offering the opportunity for recent or long-term retirees to discover the joys and benefits of cycling as a leisure activity.
The Kiama BUG organises regular social rides in the local area.
A special introductory ride will be held on Tuesday 29th March to share the local riding experience with others in the community.
Of course, as with all Kiama BUG activities, the ride will be followed by a relaxing morning tea!
This ride will be at an introductory level, supported by local Ride Leaders who are fully accredited with Bicycle NSW.
