We Like Bikes

Overview

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike, I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like… Yeah, it was Queen’s mantra back in the day, and will definitely be ours come next Sunday. All potential song thievery/plagiarism issues aside, Teneriffe will come alive on the weekend as bike riders flock to attend We Like Bikes. Whether you’re a toddler on a tricycle, a hipster on a fixie, or a fitness fanatic on a high-speed five-gear bike, you will fit right in. Hell, you could turn up on a penny-farthing and not be judged. In fact, you would probably be applauded.

Organised by Brisbane City Council in conjunction with Bicycle Queensland, We Like Bikes is part celebration and part learning experience for those with an affinity for transportation that comes adorned with a bell. Activities on the day are as eclectic as a show by the Vulcana Women’s Circus (infamous for their five person bike), lessons on maintaining your bike by Turnstyle, and of course the Hot Rod bike competition where Brisbane’s flashiest fight it out. Plus it’s a given that there will be live music and delicious fresh food – served from a bicycle cart obviously. So cancel all plans, pedal your way to Teneriffe, and have a fun day out in the sun.
