Last year’s try-out event was a great success. |
Try-Out show
Try the bike of your dreams on a good-sized track near the centre of Cambridge. There will be bikes of all shapes and sizes, for all ages to play on all afternoon. See how practical they can be when equipped with trailers for your shopping and for transporting your kids.

ET – Special Edition – slightly longer than the original with improved special effects. Near the end, when the scientists have captured ET, Elliot and a gang of small boys rescue him and race through the streets on their bikes. When the police get too close, ET does some magic and they all cycle through the air!
Breakfast
Enjoy a free cyclists’ breakfast with your fellow two-wheeled commuters at Hobbs Pavilion from 8 am-9 am.
Picnic Ride
On the Thursday evening to somewhere local.
Big Sunday Ride
We’re planning another relaxed cycle ride on the Sunday. We’ll give you a route to follow and a destination where we will meet for a picnic. It will be based on our extremely successful Windmill Ride last year.
