THINK! Road Safety Men’s Stage 4 – Santos Tour Down Under Race Start: Brighton

In celebration of the THINK! For the Road Safety Men’s Stage 4 race starting in our region, there will be an Ephemeral Public Art Installation on the paved concourse in front of the Brighton Jetty, north of the Arch of Remembrance. This installation, named Flight Fancy, consists of three bikes with "feather riders", each measuring approximately 1600mm (w) x 1200mm (h), with the feathered riders adding roughly 1800mm in height.

Look out for this fun installation from Monday, 19 January 2026, and be sure to revisit it anytime up to Monday, 2 February 2026. These installations also align with the Brighton Jetty Sculptures outdoor sculpture installation, another fantastic activation to add to your calendar for when you visit Brighton this Summer!
