About Us
Building Australia's home for family riding safety.
Open Road Mates started with one simple problem: more kids are riding than ever, and not enough parents feel equipped to keep them safe.
Our Mission
Helping parents raise safe, confident riders.
Every year, more Australian kids are riding bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters — often without the skills or supervision to do it safely. Open Road Mates exists to close that gap.
We're building Australia's home for family riding safety: real courses, a supportive community, and a growing network of trusted bike shop partners.
Practical safety courses built for real Australian roads and conditions
A community of parents who actually understand the pressure of letting kids ride solo
Trusted bike shop partners offering member-only discounts and advice

What We Stand For
The values behind every decision.
01
Family First
Every course, feature and partnership is designed around what actually helps parents keep their kids safe — not what looks good on a feature list.
02
Practical Over Perfect
We focus on real, usable safety skills for real Australian roads and conditions, not generic advice that doesn't translate to your street.
03
Built With the Community
Open Road Mates grows with feedback from real riding families and trusted local bike shop partners, not in isolation.
