Last Sunday, thousands of cycling enthusiasts gathered in Melbourne for the 31st edition of Around the Bay — one of Australia’s most iconic cycling events.
The Spirit of the Ride
Around the Bay is more than just a cycling event — it’s a celebration of Melbourne’s vibrant cycling culture.
Among this year’s 6,000+ participants were first-time riders, families with kids on balance bikes, and cycling legends who’ve joined every single year since the event began in 1993.
The oldest rider was 93, while the youngest was just a few months old — proof that cycling truly is for everyone, no matter your age or experience.
Participating in the 2025 event was a fantastic opportunity for our team to connect with the Australian cycling community and test our gear in real-world conditions.
Our Brand’s Cycling Experience
When the rain hit, our lightweight waterproof cycling apparel truly showed its performance. The fabric stayed comfortable and breathable, preventing stickiness and overheating even in the humidity.
Meanwhile, our waterproof bike bags handled the rain with ease — keeping phones, snacks, and essentials completely dry and secure.
From start to finish, we experienced firsthand how the right gear can make every kilometre smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.
Lesson learned: good cycling gear isn’t just about style — it’s about confidence and comfort, no matter what the weather brings.
Unforgettable Moments
One of the highlights of the day was meeting so many riders at the Albert Park event village — from curious first-timers discovering our products, to loyal fans who’ve been riding with us for years.
Even with muddy shoes and rain-soaked cycling jerseys, the energy never dipped.
We left deeply inspired by the resilience, positivity, and passion that Melbourne’s cycling community brings to every ride.
