Cycling in Australia

Sport Lived can arrange a cycling programme for you in all the main cities in Australia.  We run two cycling programmes, one during their Summer (September-March) and one during their Winter (March and August).  We also run an 8 week cycling programme to Brisbane during July and August, ideal for university students or those not taking a gap year.

In each city we have handpicked the best cycling clubs who have excellent coaching, facilities and top social scenes.  Most clubs have lots of members from social riders to state and international cyclists and can therefore accommodate cyclists of all ability. 

Clubs participate in a range of cycling events throughout the year including training rides, individual and team trial events, hill climbs and road racing.  Clubs usually train 2-3 times a week and compete in races at the weekends, usually on Saturdays. 

You will live in 4 star city centre apartments with other Sport Lived participants.  Most people stay in 2 bedroom apartments and everyone lives in the same complex providing you with a ready made group of friends as soon as you arrive.  Living in the city means you’ll be near nightlife, places where you can work and public transport making it easy for you to get to your club to attend training and races. 

In each city Sport Lived employ staff who are available 24/7 throughout your programme.  They help you to get settled in Australia and also organise social events throughout your programme.  One of our social events is an introductory drinks evening during the first week of your programme.  

All participants receive a hand book which has lots of useful information e.g. how to open a bank account, get a mobile phone, apply for a tax file number etc.  These are distributed at the pre departure briefing which is held approximately 6 weeks prior to your departure.
