Overview

For the third time, the annual Sydney Rides Festival is set to get back into the saddle on October 13. In conjunction with The Spokes People, the festival celebrates all things bicycle as Sydney falls more and more in love with our bikes.

The festival is a slew of events that promote the benefits of riding a bike, from family-friendly rides around the city to bike speed dating and the National Ride2Work day. And for those who simply want to watch, the Sydney Rides Film Festival will play shorts and features at Dendy Opera Quays on October 17-18.

The coveted green jersey will be awarded to the winner of the Gold Sprints on October 25, and the stationary race will take place at the Alexandria Hotel. On October 27, the inaugural polka dot jersey will be given to the first Mountain Goat Lord in Lycra — the winner of the Hill Climb Race up Observatory Hill.
