The Sydney Classic Bicycle Show (estb 2013) is on again! It will be held on Sunday 30 October 2022 between 10am and 4pm at the Lidcombe Oval, Church Street, Lidcombe.
The bicycle has been in Sydney since March 1831, when a Sydney Monitor journo spotted one at Hyde Park, all those years ago. Today, whether you like new or old bicycles, you will love this fun event.

It will also have NSW's biggest selection of vintage bicycle and parts stalls, music, food and drink.
This year’s show will also feature the 2022 Sydney Penny Farthing Championships with superfast riders ready to vie for the title of being Sydney’s best. Penny Farthing races haven’t sbeen held in Sydney since the early to mid-1890s.
In 2022 we expect:
• An estimated attendance of 1500 people on the day.
• Expect in excess of 60-70 vintage bicycles in the Concours/Show & Shine competition.

This years SCBS has been notified as being on at Homebush at the end of the Spring Cycle.

I get the tie-in, but won't that make it tough to get a lot of goods there unless there's some dedicated parking for stall holders or sellers? The place gets a bit mad on the day.

Yes, same thought occured to me re bringing bikes to display. Haven't been to Spring Cycle for ages cos it was always a pain for 'out of towners' to get to and leave. Might come down and look but doubt I'll bring any bikes with me.

Just went to the Spring Cycle website and find 'more details coming soon' It's only a couple of months away! Am I looking in the wrong place?

Only the date of 8 October is shown, no other real details of note.

Well, there goes that. Cancellation of the Spring Cycle probably means this is not happening now. Organisers, can you shed any light here?

So, when did this cancellation happen and why? I'm not seeing anything about it on the Web

It was on BNSW Facebook this afternoon. Financial considerations, mostly.

Paging TG. The man with the knowledge.

And so it is - thank you. As someone who makes minimal use of Facebook (let alone all the other platforms) I missed that entirely.

Tho neither the BNSW Website nor the Spring Cycle Website (which is somewhat forlorn and abandoned anyway) have anything about a cancellation yet.

Paging Marc. Any info that can be put out about the event since Spring Cycle cancellation? Will try email tomorrow.

[familyguy]

No reply to email. Hoping they're all busily trying to shift it, but probably another event gone (for now), which is a pity. RBCC at Heffron Park could be the only game in town.
