On yer (e) bike! Bikemore 356a Rokeby Rd, Subiaco If we can thank COVID for one thing it is the cycling revolution which sees punters turning to pedal power for exercise, fun or their daily commute. Now one in four Perth residents are opting for a weekly ride, a lot of them on e-bikes. Sit at Boucla or Juanita’s and you can often spot a happy e-bike rider zooming towards Bikemore. Chances are they’re stopping off at the shop renowned for having the biggest range of electric bikes in WA to thank the staff there for changing their lives. Bikemore proudly proclaims that they’re here not to just sell you a bike, they sell you a lifestyle and in doing so are helping the disabled, the lazy and deniers get back outdoors and make them feel like they’re 16 again. Do streamers and flags come with that?

SUBIACO: EAT SHOP LIVE
New Leaders at the Loft
Squires Loft 12F/531 Hay St, Subiaco Pop into the village – yes, Subi Village – to say hi to Stewart McDonald, the new owner at this popular grill house known for its classic rib-eyes and pork ribs. McDonald is branching out from his day job, running Subi
business, Vertical Events, to take over from Link Robertson, who has played host to steak and lager lovers for the past 11 years. Regulars can expect few changes apart from a funked up winelist. And fans of the rib eye need not worry - Chef Ardalan Jalali is staying on to man the grill.
