What Next?

Whilst Cyclekarts have gained a large following in the USA and some parts of Europe, and despite being at this sine 2018 here in Australia, CycleKarting is still very much in its infancy on our shores. At present there are few regular events, and only a smattering of owners with finished Cyclekarts.  The original 'Aussie Cyclekarts' was set up back in 2018 with the hope that it would promote Cyclekarting in Australia and help bring Cyclekart builders together. It is obviously much more fun 'racing' with other Cyclekarts involved. Growth of the sport has been slow, but we are now seeing an increased interest and more people are starting to build Cyclekarts and spread the word. The Website and Facebook pages were created to help bring people together and foster collaboration on building Cyclekarts and organising events. That same goal still stands today. 

Cyclekarts are a true community sport and it is a great vehicle (no pun intended) for bringing people together. It is enjoyed by both spectators and drivers alike. There are lots of opportunities for people to get involved in all aspects of the 'sport', from helping others on their builds to organising and taking part in events. This could be something that your local Menshed or Makerspace takes up, or perhaps a School or College project. Our aim is to try and facilitate this by helping to connect people and provide basic technical resources.

If you are considering building a Cyclekart be sure to create a build page, if you have yet to do this you should see a link at the top of the website. Please keep us updated with your progress. The more activity we have on the website and Facebook page, the more people will see it and more people will get involved and build their own, and act as inspiration and source of reference for others. This cycle (more puns) is what will fuel the growth of the sport. Think of it a bit like 'paying it forwards'. 

Also check out whether there is a Cyclekart group in your area on the Groups page. If you don't see one, please consider starting one. Again if you visit the groups page and see a group for your local area you are probably going to join it. So if you are the first from your area, creating a group gives others the opportunity to reach out and connect with you.
