Lycra may not be the most conventional symbol of solidarity but a group of Muslim cyclists hope their bike shorts will pave the way to peace.

Marking the one year anniversary of the deadly Lindt Cafe siege, the Sydney Muslim Cyclists will hit the road on Sunday for a 24-kilometre memorial ride from Lakemba Mosque to Martin Place.

The group of casual riders, who gather weekly, span all ages and background, from sheikhs and imams to university students, office workers and parents.
