Rain hail Or shine 

Since 2006, FYXO has embraced the spirit of the grueling Paris-Roubaix and created a classic of its own in the process. Melburn Roobaix is a ride, not a race, encouraging fun on bikes to bring out the ‘inner kid’ in everyone.  A truly unique event attracting every branch of the cycling religion.

Event participants gather at a secret location,  get a rider pack with an assortment of goods to complete the ride, along with many a keepsakes – but that’s only half the fun. The route you take and friends you make is what makes this event special.

After 10 years of good times, its place is cemented as a cult classic and icon of the city drawing fanatics from around Australia and the globe.
