As part of Ride2Work day, this coming wednesday 12th Oct Maroondah City Council in VIC is holding a free community breakfast at Caffe Stazione (opposite Ringwood Station, on the outer edge of Eastland's Town Square) and HE Parker Reserve, Heathmont (near the netball pavillion, off Heathmont Rd).
Cylce Galleria will also be offering free Bicycle Safety Checks.
Not certain on how they can discriminate on who is riding to work (i.e. the lycra clad), vs. who has ridden to work and changed (i.e. the general public/hungry OzBargain-er), so enjoy a free* brekky.
