This year's Cornwall Festival of Cycling was back on the road during 28 June

and 12 July bringing weird and wacky bikes for everyone to try as well as more normal bikes for people to re-discover how much fun cycling can be.

The Cornwall Festival of Cycling delivered 3 public Roadshows in Launceston, Truro and Penzance. People of all ages and abilities were encouraged to come along and have a go on a range of unusual bikes, make a healthy smoothie by pedal power alone, try out virtual reality cycling, pick up cycle skills and speak to the team of experts about any aspect of cycling. There was information on facilities and trails in Cornwall, as well as information on cycling in general, bike racks, cycling to work and much more.

All Roadshows took place between 10:30am - 4pm on Saturday's and started in Launceston on June 28th, travelling to Truro on July 5th and then to Penzance on July 12th.

This year's Festival was delivered by the North West events management company, Pennine Events Limited, in partnership with Bike Right! one of the first accredited Bikeability centres and National Standard Instructor Training providers.

The Festival also visited a selection of schools across Cornwall which will benefited from National Standards Cycle Training, cycling-themed lessons, participate in bike try-out sessions and workshops. This year the Festival visited 3 Secondary Schools and 5 Primary Schools. The students had the opportunity to learn about the health benefits of cycling, basic maintenance and safety and then actually had a go on some of the curious and surprising bikes.

Cycle training will also be offered to 96 students, who will all be trained up to level 2 of the new ‘Bikeability' national standards, giving them the skills and confidence on the roads.
