Rotorua Bike Festival's public forum saw locals come together to share feedback and bounce ideas off each other to make next year's event even bigger and better.
The forum was held on Tuesday at the Holiday Inn where people were invited to give feedback and suggestions.
Rotorua Bike Festival director Megan Dimozantos says they were happy with the turnout of about 30 people and were pleased with the mix of people who took part.
Although most participants were people previously involved in biking, there were some who had not been, she says.
She says people who attended included local inner city businesses, councillors and the trail running club.
