First ride of 2026 – January 2026 – Progressive Dinner
The weather is looking PERFECT for our first ride of the year on Wednesday 14 January commencing at 5:30pm. Details about the ride are available from this 202601 January 2026 Progressive Dinner – Adelaide CBD post.
It will involve three stops – entree, mains and dessert. So bring a healthy appetite, your lights and good humour.
If you are coming and haven’t yet registered please do so on the feedback page. This allows us to ensure that there is enough space around the dinner table.

2025 What a Year
In 2025 there were 12 Adelaide Bromptoneering Rides. If you rode all 12 you covered 247km and climbed 970 vertical metres. You may have consumed 12 beers and a few cocktails too! We did a pretty good job of getting around Adelaide as shown by the map below. I’ve updated details on the blog to include all of the routes we completed during 2025. So if you’d like to re-ride one of the routes or just reminisce you can do this from the new Adelaide Urban Adventures page. Over time I’ll include rides from previous years.
Featured Ride 202501 – Adelaide Bromptoneering x Brompton Social Ride (January 2025)
This ride is one of my favourite rides of 2025. It was a 23km loop through Adelaide, Parkside, Unley, Malvern, Kingswood, Kings Park, and Goodwood. A version of this ride was originally done in 2024, but it was brought back for the Tour Down Under as part of Brompton Australia’s ride program.
It was certainly hot at the 5:00pm start on 19 January 2025! While a gelato at 48 Flavours in Unley cooled us down, it would be better starting a little later in the evening. But we needed the early start to get to Reggies before its early Sunday closing time. Nevertheless, we got see some of the inner south’s back streets and lanes. This included the lane next with Urrbrae and Unley High Schools, the secret lane to Mitcham Primary School and the Overbury Tree.
B&W Luggage for Bromptons
It looks like someone has imported a bunch of B&W luggage for Brompton bikes into Australia. The following B&W luggage options seem to be available from a few bike retailers:
