Leisure Coast Vibes — Cycling Playlist Volume 3
Easy listening cycling playlist with new songs, cool vibes and summer energy.
Volume 3 leans into that light, optimistic feeling — the kind you get when the riding is effortless and the day’s wide open.
You’ll hear mellow starts from Brittney Bradford’s “Half Full” and Surfaces’ “Wave of You”, blended with modern voices like Olivia Dean, Winya, and new band Penelope Road. Tracks like “Rein Me In” by Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, “Coast” by Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak, and “End of Beginning” by Djo give this playlist a warm, reflective finish.
It’s relaxed, familiar and easy to come back to, whether you’re on or off the bike.
Best for:
– Easy spins
– Recovery rides
– Summer cruising
– Post-ride coffee hangs
Leisure Coast Vibes — Cycling Playlist Volume 2
Feel-good cycling playlist with a little more groove. Lifts the energy just enough for longer rides and rolling terrain.
Volume 2 keeps things laid back, opening with “Good Time” by Niko Moon, then flows through some street vibes from Surfaces & Kota the Friend, Jim-E Stack & Kacy Hill, and Anderson .Paak.
There’s warmth and soul from Holy Holy, The Paper Kites, and Miguel & Tame Impala, balanced by groove-driven tracks like Jungle’s “Heavy, California.”
This one’s for when the legs feel good and the ride stretches out.
Best for:
– Longer social rides
– Steady group cycling
– Late-morning spins
– Rolling kilometres

It rolls smoothly through tunes from G Flip, SIX60 and Sea Girls, before settling into warm, easy listens from Old Dominion, Phoenix and James Bay.
This is a cycling playlist for cruising. Steady pace, open roads and good company.
Best for:
– Easy coastal rides
– Social group spins

– Coffee-first kays
Why music matters on a ride
Music sets the pace before you even turn the pedals.
The right playlist smooths your cadence, lifts the mood and helps the ride unfold naturally. It turns a simple spin into something you remember — not because it was hard, but because it felt good.
That’s what these playlists are for — cycling soundtracks that make the ride feel fun, easy and worth remembering.

FAQs
What’s the best cycling playlist?
1
The best cycling playlist is one that matches the rhythm of your ride. At Leisure Coast Cycle Club, our cycling playlists are built for flow. Steady tempos, feel-good tracks and a laid back energy that keeps the ride enjoyable from start to finish. They’re made for cruising, not ripping your legs off.
What kind of music is best for cycling?
2
Music for cycling works best when it’s smooth, positive and easy to ride to. We lean towards indie, alternative, soul, electronic and modern Australian artists. These songs keep your cadence steady and your head in the right place. It’s less about BPM and more about feel.
Are these playlists just for cycling?
3
Not at all. These cycling playlists are made with riding in mind, but they’re just as good for driving, working, relaxing or winding down after a ride. They’re built around the same idea as Leisure Coast itself — laid back vibes, wherever you are.
How often do you release new cycling playlists?
4
We usually release new cycling playlists quarterly. Each one tends to reflect the season, the rides and the mood at the time, building an archive of cycling playlists you can come back to whenever you need that laid back feeling.
Can I listen to these playlists on indoor rides or trainers?
5
Yes. These playlists work just as well on the trainer as they do on the road. They’re designed to flow smoothly, making indoor rides feel less forced and more like time well spent.
