Now that you’ve change the URLs from http://www.cyclingedge.com.au/bikes/ to http://www.cyclingedge.com.au/ you’ll need to move the files from the /bikes/ directory to the root directory (the directory above the /bikes/ directory).
Thank you for the advice, but I don’t know what that means… could you break it down into steps for me??
Is there a way to change the URL back so I don’t have to do that?

Access your server via FTP or SFTP and move the files from the /bikes/ directory up one directory (depending on your server configuration, this could be /public_html/, /public/, /html/, /www/, /web/, etc).
Is there a way to change the URL back so I don’t have to do that?
You’ll have to access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel) and manually change the siteurl and home values to http://www.cyclingedge.com.au/bikes
If you want to properly move your blog after you’ve complete this step, just follow this guide:

Thank you so much for being so patient!
I can’t get into wordpress at all… how do I get to phpMyAdmin?

phpMyAdmin will be available via your hosting provider’s control panel (if they offer it).
Would that be something like NetRegistry?

I don’t know. cPanel and Plesk are popular hosting provider control panels, but some have their own custom systems. You should probably contact your hosting provider.
