Brompton Christmas Ride – December 2025 – Brickmakers Arms

On Sunday 21 December at 11:00am, we will return to the Brickmakers Arms in Brompton for our Christmas Ride and Lunch.

This year, both Brompton Australia and Treadly are supporting our Christmas Ride and Lunch with some great prizes. There will be a best dressed bike prize, best dressed human prize, fastest unfold prize, and some lucky door prizes.

The routes for 2026 will be announced. This will include the routes for the Canberra Takeover in April.

If you are coming and haven’t yet registered please do so on this “feedback page”. This allows us to ensure that there is enough space around the lunch table after the ride! Please let me know in a note if a non-riding companion is joining you.

We had a great time with our regular Adelaide Bromptoneering rides. We have created the perfect souvenir of 2025. The Adelaide Bromptoneering Calendar 2026. It’s available now as a PDF by following the link.

Sneak Peek

The first ride for 2026 will be Wednesday the 14th of January starting at 5:30pm. So please add this to your calendar.

The reason for the odd time and the odd day is that the first ride for 2026 will be a progressive dinner. We will be visiting three local establishments in or near the CBD for entree, main and the followed by a lovely dessert.

We had a great time leading a similar ride for the Unley Bicycle User Group and thought we should share this experience with our Brompton friends.

Light ’em up

I was recently doomscrolling and came across what looked like a new and interesting set of lights specifically for Brompton Bikes. The Mini Bike Light Combo for Brompton from Magic Shine Australia. They state “The VTG lighting system is a high-performance, versatile solution designed specifically for folding bikes. Perfect for cyclists who enjoy urban commuting, leisure riding, and road cycling, the VTG system combines innovation, safety, and user-friendly design to enhance every ride.

The system includes three key products: the VTG 1000 Front Light, the VTG Wireless Remote, and the VTG 50 TL Tail Light. Together, they ensure maximum visibility and safety, all while maintaining a sleek and compact design.”
