What an awesome turn out we had down at Red Square this morning for Go By Bike Day. About 150 bikers rode in to cross the finish line on the ‘Blue Carpet' and claim their free breakfast. A healthy breakfast was served from 7.30-9am for all keen commuters.

Go By Bike Day is all about leaving the car at home and getting from ‘A to B' on non-motorised wheels. Commuting on your bike is fantastic for your health and the environment so a big congratulations to all the local commuters who showed up for this great celebration.

Congratulations also to the major prize winner who won the brand new Avanti Discovery Bike and Bike Pack also to the 10 lucky winners of the biking goody bags.
