On a frosty Saturday morning the Johannesburg Library Gardens were awoken to the sound of bikes cruising in as BMX riders from different scenes and towns from all over South Africa came together in support the first global #BMXDay.
A whole lot of bikes – Library Gardens
The point of #BMXDay is not about drawing crowds, prize money or even a contest, it’s about drawing the scene closer together no matter how big or small through sharing the common bond of riding bikes. So without further delay we packed the van, camera gear and set off on a wild ride through the city!

After warming up and clocking some clips at the first spot as well as getting everyone in one place for a group photo to commemorate this gathering it was time to hit the streets. Seeing a huge mob of riders bombing down Commissioner Street in Johannesburg CBD is definitely a sight to make anyone who has ever ridden a bike, stoked.
