T-2025-1458 - Guided Rides
The Council of the City of Sydney ("the City") invites Requests for Tender to provide Guided Rides in and around the City of Sydney local government area in accordance with this request.
Project Background
The City's Cycle Strategy and Action Plan 2018-2030 includes Action 2.2 "provide opportunities for people to build skills and capabilities" and action 2.6 "support children, school communities and families to ride safely and increase cycling participation by women". The Strategy has a target of 10% of all trips being made by bike and increasing cycling is part of the Sustainable Sydney 2030 plan. Both infrastructure and complimentary programs such as cycle training are crucial to achieve our goals.
Guided Rides have been run for several years and have been well attended, with regular positive feedback from participants and high satisfaction ratings. Guided Rides promote a riding community that is inclusive and fosters connection amongst participants.
Project Objectives
The Guided Rides aim to:
- Provide a positive, pleasant riding experience in a group riding atmosphere
- Build participants' riding navigation skills and familiarity with the City's cycleways, with a focus on new cycling infrastructure
- Normalise riding for everyday trips to encourage participants to continue riding
- Foster and role model an inclusive riding culture
- Build city riding skills, knowledge and confidence, including low-risk, responsible riding and positive interactions between all road users
- Assist participants new to riding, including promoting the City's cycling courses, rides, events and resources.
Tenderers must submit tenders in the manner required by this document.
