Sydney Rides Festival 2012

Overview

Roll that rusty penny farthing out of your garage, don your leather goggles, brave the elements, and peddle your way down to Taylor Square and Forbes Street for ye olde Sydney Rides Festival, opening on Saturday, October 13, with a street fair.

Not only is there a chance to spin alongside fashion stalls, snack stops, riding games, and live entertainment, but there is a little somethin' for everybody: for the novices, riding demos; the cheapskates, free tune-ups; the ladies, an exclusive course in inner-city cycling confidence; the kids, a school fete with farm animals (on bikes?!); and the lazy, bike valet parking.

The two-week festival will be all over the city, so you can spend your weekends and lunch breaks cycling around on yer Mongoose, BMX, Giant, Norco, Bianci, the kiddie wheels you stole from your neighbour's yard, or what have you. Come on, join the joyride.
