The inaugural Omafiets Weird Bike Ride was a huge success! We had some pretty strange bikes along - a penny farthing, a couple of tall bikes, several small-wheeled abominations, a tiller-steering tandem, a bike with a pedicab sidecar, and a skate-bike (as well as a riotous assortment of colourful cargo and regular bikes).

We rode down the airport canal path to Tempe Reserve, where everyone tried out each other's bikes, followed by some very competitive foot-down and sprints.

Then we headed over to the St Peters Pump Track for some very silly timed laps on the 8" wheels Pacific folding bike. 

Big thanks to Ali Jones for the majority of these beautiful photos, juggling a toddler and a bike and a camera has got to be a truly elevated artform ! 

We're looking forward to some even weirder bikes next year! If you have friends who are tinkering types then spread the word and use the time to come up with some even more whacky creations !
