A second Cyclovia had been planned for Sunday, 17 February 2008, to tie in with a closure of Royal Parade and Swanston Street as part of the Sustainable Living Festival. However, the event was criticised by the RACV which claimed it was "a nuisance". The event was re-scheduled and took place on Sunday, 13 April 2008. Cafés along Sydney Road reported a brisk trade during the Cyclovia, while some other businesses complained they had fewer customers. Moreland councillor Mark Higginbotham called for the event to be held more often.
