| LIVERPOOL CYCLE FESTIVAL 2008 |
Liverpool's annual bike festival is back for another year, bigger and bolder than ever!
It's taking place in Williamson Square in Liverpool city centre, on Saturday 21st June, from 11am-4pm.
The program includes a variety of cycling-related activities and attractions, including:
- ride a 'strange' bike (and a few normal ones too!)
- take a virtual bike ride
- bikes that your grandparents rode (and even older!)
- mix your own smoothie using your own pedal power!
- ...and lots more!
Cycling Solutions will be there too with information on what we do, why we do it and how you can join in the fun too.
You can download the official leaflet by clicking here, or get in touch with us for more information. |

Organised again by the MCC,

by vandals).

There are other annual or regular events, like 'Bike Week' in early summer. We often
send a team to these events, and our 'Dr. Bike' stall to
do free checks and repairs.
