Response

It was fantastic working with the people in Eat Streat to put this on and was great to be part of the bike festival, Rotorua Lakes Council's CyWay team leader Jodie Lawson says.

We might do more in future - it's fun to be involved in and people seem to really enjoy it.

Restaurant and bar patrons were treated to an hour-long show with more than 20 locals taking to the makeshift catwalk for the Frocks on Bikes Fashion Show which attracted a great response from both locals and tourists, according to Rotorua Lakes Council's CyWay team leader Jodie Lawson.

There was a really great atmosphere and it was really well received by the crowd, she says.

The council team were asked to put the event on by Rotorua Bike Festival organisers on the back of a very successful Frocks on Bikes Fashion Show held as a one-off in December.
