A novel way to get people on their bikes . . .
Posted by kathryn in Lifestyle
There’s anecdotal evidence that Sydney-siders are cycling more. Whether it’s biking to work every day, or about town on the weekend, more and more people seem to be getting on their bikes.
Which makes this Saturday’s chocolate and fine food cycle ride a cute, interesting and timely event. It’s organised by the Marrickville-South Sydney Bicycle Group and is a 20 kilometre cycle, over three hours, that winds its way around the cafes, patisseries and chocolate shops of the inner west.
According to one of the members, the original aim was to have a calorie-neutral ride, although I’m not sure they’ll manage that aim, if as Fiona Campbell says “the idea is to ride for 10 minutes, then stop for 10 minutes”.
But, it’s better than travelling by car and sounds like a fun way to explore some hidden gourmet food stops around Sydney.
