Redditch cycling fans looking to see some mind-boggling two-wheeled activity should head for the Birmingham BikeFest, a free, family friendly festival celebrating all things cycling.

The event, next Sunday, September 13, which will run from 10am to 6pm in Eastside City Park, is expected to attract up to 15,000 people and will include a closed-road one mile ‘Family Ride’, suitable for all ages and abilities.

BikeFest will also see awe-inspiring bike stunt performances from Action Sports Tour and their World Champion riders, live music, Flatland BMX shows, the BikeFest Big Air and ‘have-a-go’ stunt sessions.

Also on site there will be specialist cycling retailers, regional food and drink traders and a kid’s Strider Adventure Zone; designed for kids of all abilities aged between 18 months and five years, to test ride a Strider bike and make friends while improving their biking skills.




BikeFest 2015 will be the first annual festival as part of Birmingham Cycle Revolution (BCR), a flagship Birmingham City Council initiative that aims to make Birmingham one of the UK’s leading cycling environments.
