  • Fyxo - Melbourne's Bike Culture & the Story of Melburn Roobaix
    Jun 9 2025

    Fyxo is a Melbourne cycling institution - driving the culture, staging events and gluing together the community that makes this a special town in which to ride bikes. He's no stranger to gravel either and now in its 20th year, his marque event - Melburn Roobaix - celebrates the brilliant mixed terrain riding Melbourne is famous too. Join us for a wide-ranging and at times loose chat about Melbourne's bike culture, the growth of gravel, and the special sauce of Roobaix - perhaps the country's dorkiest, yet coolest, cycling event.

    Find Fyxo & Roobaix here - https://fyxo.co/pages/melburn-roobaix
