Pedal Power ACT

Pedal Power ACT was born from a protest ride. In the spring of 1974, more than 50 cyclists rode from Belconnen to Civic to demand safe, separated bike paths. In February 1975, Pedal Power ACT was formally established. Fifty years on, the organisation is Canberra's largest cycling body. Their advocacy has helped shape a city with 1,000 kilometres of shared paths and over 370 dedicated cycling routes. Pedal Power runs Learn to Ride courses, the Fitability program for vision-impaired cyclists, Pedal It Forward subsidies, a bike library, and social rides.

An advocacy organisation with nearly 9,000 contacts is not a club — it is a movement. Pedal Power manages 44 distinct membership levels covering individual riders, families, concession holders, corporate supporters, and affiliated cycling groups. Events range from mass advocacy rides to weekly social spins to multi-day courses.

TidyHQ manages the full breadth of Pedal Power's operations. Forty-four membership levels handle every category. The events calendar coordinates everything from advocacy rides to Learn to Ride courses. The shop sells merchandise and processes event tickets. Mailchimp integration powers segmented communications. Zapier automates workflows. Zoom handles virtual meetings.

With 8 TidyHQ features in active use, Pedal Power ACT runs their entire operation from one platform.

• 4+ — years running on TidyHQ
• 44 — membership levels for a city-wide advocacy body
• 10 — integrated apps across the platform

From their public website to membership renewals to event management, Pedal Power ACT handles it all from one dashboard. New committee members inherit a working system, not a collection of logins and spreadsheets.
