He enjoys riding all sorts of bikes, but he is happiest on a gravel road or a rail trail somewhere in the bush, or descending some sweet single-track at Old Hidden Vale.

Mike Blewitt
Director of Marketing and Communications
Mike Blewitt is Bicycle Queensland’s Director of Marketing and Communications. With a background that started in teaching and morphed into editorial and partnerships, one thing has stayed at the core: finding joy in riding bikes.

Some of Mike’s favourite places to ride are just beyond his backyard in D’Aguilar National Park.
