Community members gathered at Wolstencroft Park to take part in the bike ride which was followed by a picnic lunch. 

Bike Bendigo Community Ride organiser, Jac Torres-Gomez said ‘We’ll be honouring this invention that changed the world with a family-friendly bike ride. As a highlight there will be bikes from different eras, shapes and sizes, we invite the wider community to come along in celebration of all things cycling’.

Bike Bendigo meet on the second Sunday of each month. Route and meet location varies month to month so keep up to date with events on the groups Facebook page – Bike Bendigo or visit http://www.bikebendigo.com/events/
