Emerald City Spin is a short video featuring, you guessed it, Sydney bike riders which has shown in New York to London and Sydney Bike Film Festival.
A bunch of hot and cheeky ladies wake up, get dressed and bike through the streets of the Emerald City to the beach. “Summer daze, bikes and babes, riding round, wearing shades. Feel the breeze, catch a wave, looking hot, like grenades”.

We’ve blogged about the wonderful hand-made bikes from Bowery Lane Bicycles before…and now we’re excited that a limited number are now available in Australia.
The bikes are hand-welded, painted, assembled, packed and shipped in New York City. The vintage style bikes are made by a family owned and operated company that has been making bikes since the 1800s and they feature sustainable cork handles, a Dutch leather saddle and a locally handcrafted wood crate.
The bikes can be bought online and are available for test rides in Bondi, Sydney. They will be coming to Melbourne and Brisbane soon!
Sydney designer Jeni Oye makes jewellery under the label Oye Modern and the range includes handmade one-of-a-kind cuffs made from recycled bike tyres.
Consider the cuffs as a badge of honour for the miles you’ve ridden.
We visit Sydney several times a year and we’ve had great fun discovering the city’s ever-expanding network of cycleways with a rental from Humble Vintage.
Now City of Sydney has a free pocket-sized booklet featuring eight adventures for you and your bike in inner-Sydney.
You can order a hard copy of the booklet by calling 9265 9333 or just download the ride you want.
The Sydney Rides Festival launches with a bang this Saturday with the Street Fair of Cycling Goodness!
Join the party from 10-4pm at Taylor Square, Darlinghurst (on the Bourke Street cycleway cnr of Bourke Street and Oxford Street Darlinghurst).
There will be food, coffee, music, games and workshops. There’s also free bike mechanics and free valet bike parking thanks to the City of Sydney. Some of our goodies will be available for sale at the market stall run by Bicycle Film Festival Sydney, so make sure you drop in to this fabulous event.
Food and cycling are probably our two favourite things, which is why we’re so excited to hear about ‘The Moving Feast’, a celebration of food and cycling in Sydney.
The new event is taking place on Saturday 24 September at 9am which is 350.org‘s Moving Planet day – so it’s also a day to promote moving away from fossil fuels (and taking our food and transport systems with us!)
Two groups will cycle along two separate routes (East Side and West Side rides) visiting Sydney’s farmer’s markets and food hot spots on the way. The rides will end with a party in Prince Alfred Park at midday so that you can enjoy your food with your new friends!
Check out the Moving Feast page for full details (including route and maps) and follow their Facebook and Twitter pages.
