Loss adjuster Technical Assessing is launching regular group bike rides in NSW, to support mental health.

The first ride this month covers a 35km route in Sydney, followed by a group breakfast.

Arranged in conjunction with Melbourne cycling enthusiasts Knights of Suburbia (KOS), it is the first official KOS ride to be held in NSW, and is open to all cyclists.

“For some time now we at Technical Assessing have been looking at ways to promote and change the culture around mental health by raising awareness, particularly in the insurance industry,” NSW State Manager Brendan Sears said.

KOS aims to change the culture around mental health by raising awareness, eliminating stigma and empowering people to develop wellbeing and resilience.

The first ride is on Friday May 17 at 6.30am, leaving from Barista v.s Chef on Clarence Street.
