Cycle Fest

A few of us turned up at the Cycle Fest at Lister Park on the 13th June, generally helping out, but also handing out leaflets and answering questions about the Bike Bus.

The Cycle Fest was great. Lots of people, lots of sunshine, and best of all, lots of bikes. Thanks to everyone that helped.

There were Junior Cycle Races, Dr Bike Sessions, Mountain Bike Displays & Coaching sessions, Crank-it-Up Wacky Bikes & Races, Come ‘N’ Try Multi ability Bikes, Cycle Shops, Cycle information and the official launch of the Bradford Cycle Map.
