The Bristol Cycle Festival

posted on 4 July 2012 | posted in Bristol Bike Blog

To celebrate the cities cycling culture, next week is The Bristol Cycle Festival.

The event is in it's third year and includes such activities as speed dating on bikes, a micro-sportive that climbs a notorious local hill no less than four times, theatre, poetry, street games and a two wheeled drive in cinema.

This is now an annual festival and events can be organised by anyone in the cycling community.


Of course, no cycle festival would be complete without a bike ride or two, and there are several to choose from:

Bike Train to Work - join a group of riders on one of the main commuting routes into town.

Bike trains to work



Discover Bristol Rides - explore hidden corners of the city via a mix of quiet roads and cycle paths.

Get in the Swim - a gentle, mostly traffic free ride to Portishead open air pool.

Silver Cyclists, Bike Minded and Bike Generation - rides for older cyclists, people who suffer from mental health issues and under-15s.
