Connecting Communities Through Cycling

We ride every week to promote wellness, connection, and positive energy representing Turkish Airlines and the spirit of global unity.

About Us

We are a Sydney-based cycling team united by one mission to promote wellness, awareness, and community connection through cycling.

What started as a small group of passionate riders has grown into a movement that brings people together every week. We cycle across Sydney and Australia to inspire healthier living, stronger mental wellbeing, and a sense of unity among people from all backgrounds.

Our team currently includes 15 active members, each riding not for competition, but for purpose to show that sport can heal, connect, and motivate.

We proudly wear Turkish Airlines–branded jerseys during every ride and event. For us, Turkish Airlines represents more than travel it symbolises connection, culture, and global community. By carrying the THY logo on our uniforms, we promote their message of “Widen Your World” while sharing the values of wellness, discipline, and teamwork.

We regularly join local and national cycling events, participate in community wellness activities, and share our journey across social media to inspire others to get active. Every kilometre we ride is a step toward better health, awareness, and connection between people, cultures, and communities.

We are a not-for-profit incorporated association registered in NSW, based in Matraville within the Randwick City Council area, with regular cycling activities across Sydney and plans to ride across Australia.
