You will probably hear more about it from your local Mayor as you have to keep your vehicles off the road. If you have never experienced it, sit outside your house or on the side of the road early and you will get publicity gifts thrown at you.

Be warned when the bikes do come it's blink and you will miss it, so watch out if you want to get a photo.
