Ride will be through the city, taking in Parliament House, Circular Quay, The Rocks and a visit to Barangaroo and Darling Harbour, ending back at Town Hall. Dress: business suit or something fancy.

Bicycles are free on the trains and ferries, so make a day of it and head for the City.

Comment by pfog on March 22, 2012 at 11:51am: Dress code: "Wear green!" according to Treadlie: http://treadlie.com.au/events_display/page/Rolling_with_Clover/arti...

Suit/fancy is a good idea tho - the tweed ride dress ups alwasy seem to prevent on-road aggro.

Comment by Bob Moore on March 24, 2012 at 8:47am: This could be a pre-tweed warm up ride. It doesn't really matter what you wear, the main thing is to get some numbers there and show how enjoyable cycling around town is. I have a photo somewhere of a rally in Berlin where 10000 cyclists turned up.

Comment by Bob Moore on March 24, 2012 at 9:13am: 100,000? They say it is 250,000 now on the Farradsternfahrt, beautiful name!

Comment by Michael S. (Boxhead) on March 25, 2012 at 8:21pm: Sorry I can't make it. I'll be out of town. I hope you get a big turnout.

Comment by Bob Moore on March 26, 2012 at 9:29am: Hoping for a late rush! Should be good weather and a chance to meet other Sydney Cyclists. Sydney needs a regular event similar to the Ciclo Vias in a number of other cities around the world, including LA, and Bogota, where it all started apparently.

Comment by Bill Parker on March 29, 2012 at 6:42pm: 18 attending, I thought there were 4,000+ of us?

Comment by Bob Moore on March 29, 2012 at 6:47pm: Not getting out of bed for less than 10,000 as the supermodel said.

Comment by Martyn P on March 30, 2012 at 9:27am: Yeah I hope we get some decent numbers, people seem to like talking about their rights as cyclists but they need to go out to events like this and get involved. So do we wear green or is it business attire, seems to be some confusion?
