there will even be a kids bike swap!!!

bring you'r kids, tell the Jr's
this is such a good idea

Unfortunately, it's the same weekend as the "Ride to Conquer Cancer".

Any DHBC people meeting up for this? I'm keen to go but don't know anybody else who I could drag along

I'll be around,
I'm doing heaps of volunteering over the who rides festival.

I'll be manning a stand at the swap meet with some of my buddies. They'll probably be having a few beers throughout the day and it will be a good scene, welcome to hang out with us Andrew. Dress of the day is cutoff jeans and a patterned button-up shirt.
This was great fun last year. Every kook on a bike in Sydney turned up and there was so much hi-viz and patchouli in the air, not to mention more recumbents than I thought existed. Good times.

Hmm I guess I'm pretty much required to fixie it in, don't have any cutoff jeans though, have to see how I can keep them away from the chain

just roll the jeans up, unless you'r rhys and your calves prevent you from doing it

Hi Andrew - I'm going to this and I know some others are too. We'll probably leave Marrickville area at about 11:20ish. Will most likely ride via the std slowies route to join the cycleway at around Telopea St then ride Nth planning to be at Taylor Sq by 12:30 to hear / support Clover Moore. Most likely meeting point is cnr Marrickville & Illawarra but I'll re-post as this firms up. I'll be on my shopping bike.

Hmm I have to decide if I should go to saturday slowies tomorrow with a change of clothes in my panniers and hang around after to meet you guys (which would mean I can't ride my fixie for maximum hipster points) or if I should skip slowies and just ride there on the fixie, or third option do slowies, ride home, change clothes and bikes and ride back

Ride the fixed gear to slowies?

i was going to say that, but i think he was saying he couldn't ride the fixie cause it has no pannier racks

Fixie and small backpack?

I'm planning to roll along. I'll be in CP mid-morning and probably be lurking at St Jude's cafe on Bourke rd, I'll keep an eye out for you guys.

Hmm yeah traditionally I don't like backpacks but maybe I'll take one with me on slowies, if the cafe is opening around that time they might even be nice enough to let me store it there...
