In its fifth year the Cycling Ireland Family Cycling Festival, Bike Fest, has been going from strength to strength, and the 2015 event will be no exception! Bike Fest is a FREE event marking the start of National Bike Week, and takes place in St. Anne's Park, Clontarf/Raheny, Dublin 3 on Sunday the 14th June from 12 noon to 6pm. There will be a range of activities, so bring your bike, there will be something for the whole family!
All the usual activities will take place, with a Sprocket Rocket Zone, Gearing Up Zone and the popular family cycle around one of Dublin's most picturesque parks. The Cycle Safety Zone is a fun area where the young riders are put through their paces while learning how to cycle safely on the roads.
Think your child might be too young to cycle? Why not check out the Strider Bike Zone. Got a speed machine in the family? Let them test themselves in the Single Speed cycle zone. The RSA will be present with their popular simulator, to help and advise on cycle safety. Maybe you just want to sit back, soak up the cycling filled atmosphere and enjoy some of the many market stalls.
Stunt crew Savage Skills will make their Bike Fest debut this year, and are sure to wow the crowds with their cycling skills, and will be happy to provide some coaching to the dare devils out there too.
Come along on the day to enjoy a festival and celebration of cycling in St. Anne's Park, Dublin. Pre-registration is not required, the event is fully insured by Cycling Ireland, and all the zones are supported by fully qualified Cycling Ireland coaches and instructors. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
