Where to ride, play and eat with your tot in Melbourne

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

Baby brand Baby Bunting asked me to write a guest post for their Facebook page as part of a series called “The Nappy Diaries”.

The guest posts are all written by young parents to share their experiences with the Baby Bunting Facebook community. Previous topics have included eating out with kids and express beauty tips for busy mothers.

My contribution is a perfect amalgamation of my interests – Melbourne, babies, cycling, fun things to do around town and places to eat out. Entitled ‘Where to ride, play and eat with your tot‘ I decided to do a slightly different take on the ‘places to go and things to do with kids’ angle as I’ve picked out places based on whether they are accessible by bike.

Have a read of our guest post here. The post doesn’t include any of the links so for ease of reference here are all the places linked for you:

What are your tips on where to ride, play and eat with your tot?

The Moving Feast – Saturday 24 September

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Food and cycling are probably our two favourite things, which is why we’re so excited to hear about ‘The Moving Feast’, a celebration of food and cycling in Sydney.

The new event is taking place on Saturday 24 September at 9am which is 350.org‘s Moving Planet day – so it’s also a day to promote moving away from fossil fuels (and taking our food and transport systems with us!)

Two groups will cycle along two separate routes (East Side and West Side rides) visiting Sydney’s farmer’s markets and food hot spots on the way. The rides will end with a party in Prince Alfred Park at midday so that you can enjoy your food with your new friends!

Check out the Moving Feast page for full details (including route and maps) and follow their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Spring Cycle – Sunday 16 October

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Bicycle NSW Spring Cycle Bicycle NSW Google Chrome 25082011 112240.bmp 605x358 Spring Cycle Sunday 16 October

The Bicycle NSW Spring Cycle is Sydney’s largest celebration of bike riding. This year’s event held on Sunday 16 October is part of the new Sydney Rides Festival from 8-16 October.

For the hard-core cyclists there is the traditional 55km Classic Ride but this year there is also a shorter 16km City Ride, a more leisurely amble which will feature many of the highlights of the longer ride (including riding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge).

You can register for the ride here. $5 of each entry fee goes to charity and this year the Spring Cycle is proudly supporting 3 charities:

National Breast Cancer Foundation – Team Pink
Amy Gillett Foundation
Bicycle NSW Environmental Trust

To make the event a really fun day out, Bicycle NSW are running several competitions including a best-dressed competition. You could opt for a super-stylish Parisien look, deck yourself out in head-to-toe tweed, dress as your favourite super hero or go as way out as you can.

The winner receives a $250 voucher to spend with us! So what are you waiting for?
