Wingecarribee Council encourages bike riders to don their helmets and join the fifth annual Bong Bong Track Family Fun Ride on Sunday, September 21 at the Bong Bong shared pathway.

Adults and children of all ages are invited to bring their bikes along to help celebrate NSW Bike Week and enjoy a 9km return ride from Burradoo to Moss Vale.

Council's road safety officer, Melanie Lausz said the free event was a fun way to encourage people to learn more about safe cycling and its benefits.

"Bike Week is an annual celebration of cycling, encouraging people from all walks of life to get on a bike and ride," she said.

"The Family Fun Day is the perfect opportunity to get the whole family involved, teach the kids about cycle safety, and have an enjoyable ride."

The event will begin at 10am at the southern end of Railway Road in Burradoo (past Oxley College).

Riders will receive a free NSW Bike Week water bottle and slap band.

Everyone is welcome and if 9km seems a bit too much, riders can turn around at any point on the track and return. The day will also feature free face painting, a treasure hunt for the kids and a barbecue sausage sizzle.

Staff from supporting partner McGee's Cycling Store will be on hand with practical advice on correct helmet fitting and cycle safety.

In addition to their bikes, participants should bring a helmet, sunscreen and water.
