So you finally made the jump!

You bought the pale green fixie you’d had your eye on for about a year or so and justified the expense by thinking about what you’ll save on petrol and the gym membership you no longer need (but probably won’t cancel due to apathy).

Now that you’re with-bicycle, ease yourself into the riding scene with Bike2Market, a free event with music, free bike repairs and access to tonnes of bike know-how.

Tag along on the guided bike tour showcasing the newly minted Russell, Owen and Compton Street North-South Walking and Cycling link, figure out your best route into the Central Market, and top your day off with what has been tantalizingly described as a ‘bike-themed celebrity cooking demonstration’ by Callum Hann and Themis Chryssidis of Sprout.

There are prizes up for grabs, free smoothies courtesy of Bike’N’Blend, andit’s all happening at Compton Street, 10am til 12pm Saturday 9 April.
