On Sunday, no fewer than 200 bikers thrilled revellers with spectacular stunts during the Bikers’ Parade session of the 2024 Carnival Calabar, held in Calabar, Cross River.

The bikers covered the 12km distance of the carnival route, exciting fun seekers.

Also, revellers in their numbers stood at strategic locations to watch different interesting acrobatic manoeuvres by the bikers.

The entire process was a visual feast, with riders showcasing their skills and stunts like ‘wheelies’, ’stoppies’, and ‘jumps’ on various high-performance power bikes.

Adorned with colourful outfits and gleaming chrome, the bikers added a touch of glamour to the proceedings.

As the riders revved their engines and performed daring manoeuvres, the crowd remained mesmerised by the display of speed, agility and balance.

It was a celebration of the passion and camaraderie that defines the biking community in the city of Calabar.

The event provided a platform for bikers to connect, share stories, and showcase their machines. It also allowed bikers to interact with the community, promoting unity and shared passion.

Nigeria’s fastest female biker, Aisha Vatsa, popularly known as Flygirl, who participated in the parade, said it was exciting for her as biking remains her hobby.

Ms Vatsa, who is the national secretary of Metallic Knights Motorcycle Club, said the main aim of the club was to promote biking through the carnival platform as they desire that Calabar should be known globally as the bikers’ hub.

According to her, this can be achieved with the excellent road network, beautiful weather and the hospitable people of Calabar.
