Did you catch the ladies on postie bikes in this year's Parkes Elvis Festival annual street parade?
If you didn't don't worry as they will be back in Parkes this April and will be bringing 90 other ladies from around NSW on their postie bikes as well.
Nine of the Parkes ladies who will be doing the 2025 Never Late Fe-Mail Postie Bike Ride took part in the parade behind the Wings4Kidz bus which travelled from Sydney for the occasion.
The aim of the girls riding in the parade was to raise the profile of the Wings4Kidz charity and their annual 800km Never Late Fe-Mail Postie Bike Ride, as they will be finishing their ride in Parkes this year.
Wings4Kidz aims to lessen the significant burden and effect of long distance travel for seriously ill children and their families to reach specialist care and treatment.

Wings4Kidz does this by providing specialist free air and ground transport service and keeping families together during their difficult journey.
For a child requiring specialist treatment for heart conditions, blood disorders, cancer, congenital disorders, burns treatments or the many other conditions which can only be treated at major hospitals, Wings4Kidz is there to support them throughout their treatment journey.
The Never Late Fe-Mail Postie Bike Ride raises vital funds for the charity.
This year the ride will see over 90 ladies depart from Bathurst via a detour around Mount Panorama in early April before they take back roads to Young, Temora and West Wyalong.
The girls will then travel to Forbes and Bogan Gate before they finish in Parkes.
The ride travels through the towns of other families that utilise the service.
These families are invited to join participants for dinners to share their stories.
Over the last two years the ride has raised $500,000 and only being in it's third year, riders are hoping to raise in excess of $300,000 this year.
