Welcome
Cycling in the Orange Region has something for everyone. From the racing cyclist to mountain bikers to leisure riders, from family friendly rides to those wanting to experience the many natural features of the area.
Either relax or challenge yourself. For those who really want to challenge themselves, try the enormity of the Mountain or the Pinnacle
Maybe a long tour through the many villages is for you? Every season provides a different backdrop for your ride. Brilliant greens and yellows of Spring and Summer give way to a kaleidoscope of colours in Autumn. Winter brings a fresh invigoration and a new look to the same landscape. Leisure riders and family groups are well catered for in and around the city. From city streets to cycle loops in beautiful reserves, Orange has it all for you.

Blue-prints for Bikes
Orange City Council has adopted a number of cycling blue-prints for the future, aimed at positioning Orange as a city that promotes and encourages riding and bicycle-awareness for the entire community. In June 2016 Orange City Council adopted the Orange Active Travel Plan_Part A_Version 4 which includes a number of infrastructure upgrades and social-educational changes.
This community engagement site includes more information about the Active Travel Plan.
An enlargement of Orange’s current bicycle network has begun.
This work will include:
- road-marking and signage programs
- new bicycle and shared pedestrian paths
- more bike stabling facilities
- in the Moulder Park precinct, an upgraded velodrome and a criterium track.
