RACV Bike Buddies
About this page
If you're an experienced rider you might remember the people who gave you a hand and encouraged you when you first began riding to work. Now it can be your turn to help a new rider start their journey.

If you live in Victoria help new riders get to know their route to work by mentoring them as a RACV Bike Buddy on Ride to Work Day 13 October 2010. You can assist them in planning their route to work and provide encouragement and support on the ride.
RACV Bike Buddies register and are matched to a new rider who shares their commute. RACV Bike Buddies meet new riders and share their commute together.
Tips for RACV Bike Buddies
- Call the New Rider a few days before your commute together to arrange a meeting point.
- Make sure you exchange mobile numbers so you can easily find one another on the morning of your ride
- Be patient with the new rider
- Get to know their skill level and ride to that rather than your own
- Provide them with useful tips and advice as you ride together
- Ask them questions so you know where they may need extra support or assistance
The Bike Buddy program is proudly supported by RACV Bike Assist.
