It will be an afternoon out for all the family, part of Cycling UK’s Bike Week and the Big Bike Revival – national campaigns to get more people onto bicycles.
Sponsored by Avanti Cycling, Reading Cycle Festival is being held early in summer to help inspire riders to make the most of the season.
Leading cycle shops – AW Cycles and Pankhurst Cycles – will have demo bikes for you to try out and local clubs will explain how you can get involved in rides and other cycling activities.
This is your chance to learn how to ride a unicycle. Members of the Union of UK Unicyclists will give you a taste of their diverse world. You could be popping tricks, speeding down mountains, or just getting to work on one wheel.
If you have trouble maintaining your bike, come along for free advice from friendly on-site mechanics.
If a young rider has outgrown her bike, bring it along to sell and look out for something bigger at our bike recycling scheme.
