Narrative

Drifting moraines located 5 km NW of Skew Peak at the confluent flow of ice from Rim Glacier, Spocket Glacier, and Mackay Glacier, including the moraines at the W side of Rim Glacier, in Victoria Land. Approved by NZGB in 1995, the name alludes to the use of a bicycle as a practical means of transportation by a New Zealand glacial mapping party led by Trevor Chinn, summer season 1992-93, and is part of a theme of cycling names in the area.
