One of the event organisers, Mel Cairns, commented: “We all know that cycling is a green, healthy and cheap way to get about, but the festival showcases the sheer joy of pedal power and brings together the passionate, the practical and the curious to celebrate it.”
The Festival HQ will be based at the Showroom, College Green and will be open from 11am till 6pm every day (17th – 25th) as a hub for information, maps, exhibitions, talks and more.
The festival is run entirely by volunteers and bike companies and shops interested in getting involved can contact the organisers at info@bristolcyclefestival.com
