PEDAL PUSHER
Brisbane is buzzing these days, with a plethora of art, eateries and near constant sunshine. The best way to get around? On a Bosch equipped eBike. Here’s how to make the most of a jam-packed day on two wheels. 1. Start your day at Coffee
Anthology in the CBD. You could say they’re obsessed with their beans; they rotate them every week and have four grinders on site. Jump on your bike while you’re still buzzing – you’ve got the eBike’s pedal assist to keep you going when the caffeine wears off.
2. It’s a short ride to the
Gallery of Modern Art
(GOMA) to see the 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT9), a free exhibition with 80 artists from across the region. If the weather is too glorious to be indoors, you have the flexibility to take a detour with your eBike – ride through the South Bank Parklands and have a quick dip in the river.
3. Next, cruise along the river to the cute-as-a-button Corner
Store Café in Toowong. Part café, part corner store with flowers, lollies and pantry staples to take with you, it’s perfect for peoplewatching. Take your time; the battery in the eBike system will keep you on the road all day. 4. Nearby are the Botanic
Gardens at Mount Coot-tha, 56 hectares of subtropical gardens with the largest collection of Australian native rainforest trees in the world. Do a lap around the ring road then park your bike and explore.
5. Weariness may be setting in by now but the advantage of an eBike is that you can get about quickly, easily and have real fun while riding. Cruise through 4 Padding ton to Brisbane’s dining district, Fortitude Valley, and try a fried chicken burger at the much-loved Lucky Egg.
