Bike Week 12th March- 20th March

Bike week 2011 has started... This is great time to get anyone you know who has mentioned or is keen to get out on a bike to encourage them now. There is lots happening on the Sunshine Coast during this week. The Travelsmart department of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council has developed a fanastic schedule to promote and encourage cycling in our community. We are extremely lucky to live in a beautiful place that has many cycling paths and trails to help you explore your backyard, from the coastal paths through to the Noosa Network trails in the hinterland. 

For a detailed schedule go to Travelsmart Bike week page.

Here at Cognition, cycling is our passion and one of our aims is  to encourage and support more cycling in our community, whether its mountain biking in the forest, punching out the kms on a road bike, enjoying a family ride or assisting the economical and healthy commuter, we are here to help. 

We believe its important to get children on bikes early, it builds confidence and ability. There is alot to offer children in the cycling community whether its bike to jump, trick, race through the mud or just get them to school in a fun and healthly way.
During Bike week, the council has it covered.

Greg Long has donated his time, expertise and knowlege to educating our community on cycling. There was a great turn out at the two seminars he gave last Saturday ( Getting started in Cycling and Basic Bike Maintenance Workshop) at the Cooroy Library. The feedback has been great, everyone loved it. Thank you to Cooroy library for a great venue. The library staff have done a fanastic job with their cycling display.
