Sydney Rides Festival 2018

The City of Sydney’s annual four-week festival – Sydney Rides Festival is on again from 6 to 27 October – boasts more than 30 events that celebrate bikes and family fun in the outdoors.

With a big adventure in Sydney Park, a twilight picnic ride and a chocolate ride, to name a few, this year’s Sydney Rides Festival in October has more in store for Sydneysiders than ever before. Sydney Rides Festival 2018 highlights include:

The Big Adventure: Pedal, jump, dance or climb at this celebration of the outdoors and active living.
