Ride Oz
Ride Oz has a showroom stocked with high-end cycle products – indeed, it’s a cycle-junkie’s heaven on Earth with brands like Zipp, Rapide, BMC, Vittoria and Sram gracing the walls and cycle racks.
When you enter the showroom you’re greeted with the smell of freshly brewed coffee, as Mark – the owner and a competitive cyclist – well knows the roadie’s need for a coffee fix during a hard training session. You can grab a cuppa, sit down and watch international cycling events on the big screen tv, or just chill surrounded by bikes worthy of any professional cyclist’s attention.
If you’re looking for a bike, and are a tad particular about what you ride, Ride Oz builds bikes to suit you. You select the frame, the groupset, the wheels, the pedals, even the colour of your handlebar tape… and if you want cards threaded through the spokes of your wheels… well! we can’t guarantee Mark and the RideOz Team won’t raise their eyebrows… but yes, even that can be arranged!
RideOz even has an in-house professional bike fitter, who will fit you to your bike to ensure your riding position is correct. This will keep you comfortable in the saddle and make sure you get the best results on your bike – whether it be for racing, touring, or blazing those cross country tracks out yonder.
Aside from repairs, bike services, bike building, and bike fitting, Ride Oz even offers the service of cleaning your bike. You simply drop in, and $10 will give you a coffee and a friendly chat while the mechanics clean your bike as good as new
And it’s worth mentioning that RideOz is home to the Hogs Breath Race Team – winners of numerous cycle races… but you’ll hear more about their racing exploits when you visit RideOz. Please visit their site at: http://www.rideoz.com/
Oh! And we should mention that Ride Oz caters for footbikers – they are the official mechanics and bike part specialists for the Australian Footbike Team.
Dante’s Pizzaria
Are you looking for a real pizza? Not just ‘any pizza’, but a real, bonafide pizza full of flavour with a delicious pizza base, light sauce, and fresh ingredients…
Well, the Australian Footbike Team has found the home of the real thing – no imitations here at Dante’s Pizzaria! You’ll enjoy the freshest, tastiest toppings on delicious bases, which are then cooked on stone to enhace the flavours, limit the fat, and maintain nutrition.
Tony, the proprietor, makes his own pizza dough, fresh every morning using a secret recipe. He also uses a special pizza base sauce that will leave your tastebuds begging for more! But don’t ask for the recipe for either – they’re a closely kept secret at Dante’s.
The different pizzas make use of toppings that you may not find at the local ‘fast food pizza shop’ including sundried tomatoes, avocado, prawns, guacamole and a variety of cheeses including parmesan, fetta, and the good old mozzarella! And with great names like ‘The Fajita’, ‘The Four Corners’, ‘Dallas’ and ‘The Crack’, the mind boggles at the delicious toppings Tony’s pizza-genius brain has concocted for your tastebud’s pleasure.
Of course, you can find your old-time favourites at Dantes, including ‘Margherita’, ‘Hawaiian’ and ‘Chicken’, but why not spoil your palate and try one of Dantes Gourmet Pizzas – a meal worthy of even the most particular pizza-lover. Several Aussie Footbike Team Members personally recommend the Gourmet Vege and the Gourmet Nacho Pizzas. Mini Garlic and Cheese Pizzas, and a variety of breads and drinks are also available to have with your meal…
… and then finish off with Dantes famous Nutella Pizza… a delicious treat on Dante’s special dessert pizza base topped with Nutella. Yummmmmmmmmm!
Away from the hustle of the busy suburbs, Dante’s Pizzaria is located on the way to picturesque Victoria Point – the docking point for the Moreton Bay Islands, including Coochiemudlo. You’ll find your next dinner at Dante’s at Shop 4, ‘Victoria Point Shores’, 119 Colburn Avenue, Victoria Point. With a large and comfortable seating area, pizzas are available for dining in or take away. Phone: 07 3207 0035 to book a table or order.
Perhaps we’ll get to share a pizza with you there one evening!
Kickbike Australia
This year the Australian Footbike Team will be riding Kickbikes, courtesy of Kickbike Australia.
If you ever want to try the sport of footbiking, then Kickbikes are the way to go.
The Kickbike was the original ‘scooter-bicycle’ hybrid developed as a fitness and cross-training device for elite Nordic Athletes, and the movement is somewhere between cycling and running. Indeed, they have the benefits of both disciplines minus the downsides of limited variation in movement of the hamstring (cycling) and damaging impact (running).
Kickbike Australia can find you the footbike best suited to your needs; whether you want to tour, race, scoot some seriously grouse downhills, or simply use the kickbike as an alternative means of transport for getting to and from work or the shops. And if you’re a junior, then the Freeride, a suberb looking children’s footbike is the ride for you. Much more robust and safer than the standard kid’s scooter, the Freeride has been used by demo teams to re-enact bmx tricks and agility.
Speak to Bruce Cook from Kickbike Australia, who promises to help you “kick your butt into shape using Kickbike!” When it comes to kicking technique, knowing the best bike tracks in Australia, and how to use Kickbikes for fitness, recovery or cross-training, then Bruce is your man.

AirHawk Australia
While we don’t have any seats on our Footbikes, we can appreciate people suffer from ‘numb bums’, sore backs and fatigue when spending hours in an office chair, or behind the wheel of their car, truck or farm machinery. Motorcyclists all over the globe will also testify to the soreness of being in the saddle for long periods of time, and commercial and recreational pilots often complain about cramps and fatigue as a direct result of poor seating design in planes and helicopters.
Such discomfort is a thing of the past with the revolutionary AirHawk Comfort Seating System. AirHawk has designed cushions that relieve pressure, promote blood flow and alleviate the ‘numb bum’ syndrome. There are AirHawk Cushions for just about any environment – from quality leather office cushions through to hardy truck seat cushions – there are even specifically designed pilot seat cushions. Just ask Tom Thornley – The AirHawk Guy – which is the right cushion for you. Please visit: http://airhawk.com.au/
