Literally tens of thousands of bikes are involved and the procession lasts a couple of hours. Some of the particiapants dress up and this year we had an Elvis, Laurel & Hardy and clowns together with the usual bunch of rabbits and chicks.
It started about thirty years ago when a local group of bikers decided to do a charity run carrying Easter Eggs to the children at the local hospital. Today all sorts of people are involved including Hells Angels, scooter clubs, old men on classic bikes and fat blokes on quads. 
I reckon even the Police enjoy it, if nothing else, they get to hand out Think Bike and BikeSafe leaflets and flags.
