Wooping it up for the Woop Rolling Festival!

It was a beautiful crisp Autumn day, the kind where the colours of the leaves and the sky seem more vivid than ever before. Add to this the colours of 1000+ bikes and their owners and you have a festival of delights! On Sunday the Feather Brigade headed to the most joyous of events and the first of it's kind in Sydney... the Woop Rolling Festival, held along the cycle way of Bourke street from Waterloo to Woolloomooloo (approx 4km). Our heads were spinning from looking at everyone while we pedaled along... Bike culture was everywhere!

So with our bike gang we set out to ride and to ride in style... And well if we bewildered the few serious, grim cyclists along the way... all the better!

We watched in admiration at the hard work of bike friend to all -Yogi, who always works tirelessly at bike events. He was the bike mechanic of choice, and he was at it non-stop. Big thanks Yogi!!

We bumped into bikeling friends from other days.. and made some new ones who we hope to see again!

There were street entertainers, a vintage bike display (Wolfies), and unicyclists. Gotta love unicyclists!

Here we are wooping it up with sweets from Bourke St Primary's Cake Stall. YUM!


The Festival attracted people across a broad spectrum, and was family friendly. Clover Moore - Bikeling Superhero was there, gosh we really have to make her a cape to wear!
