Motown, Stax, & Philly Sound bike party

Event

This bike party celebrates the many artists from the Motown and Stax record labels, and the Philly Sound.

For example, Smokey Robinson, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, and Patty LaBelle.

Choose some songs for the playlist, and then roll beside Lake Burley Griffin and enjoy music blasted from a Partybox on the back of a cargo bike.

Riders must bring their own lights, and have a plan if they get a flat tyre or other mechanical fault.

Oh, and bring something warm because it can get cold beside the lake.

Ride leader Paris will be waiting a big blue cargo bike, with flashing lights and a flag.
