Last year the CycleFest team held Cyclefest, a week long celebration of cycling which saw thousands of people from South Lakes take part. This year we are holding the Summer of Cycling – a 6 month long celebration of cycling aimed at encouraging as many people as possible to get on their bikes and experience cycling.
From May to October the Summer of Cycling will offer a wide range of rides, events, competitions and workshops for you to take part in. See here for details of all events. If you would like to receive our monthly email newsletter containing cycling news and details of all events, please send us your email here.
We will also be producing a cycling and walking map of Kendal and surrounding area which can be downloaded here. If you would like a copy of the map, or any other free cycling material we are offering, please fill in our online request form here.
Our aim is to get everyone enthused about cycling - whether you are a regular rider or have never picked up a bike before!
The Summer of Cycling has something for everyone - whether you are a regular or infrequent rider, or have never ridden before. We will be covering every aspect of cycling - mountain biking, over 50’s, leisure rides, road rides, stunt bikes, cycling for mobility or visually impaired, and more!
Take your time to explore the website. Whether you want to learn bicycle maintenance, get involved in the Workplace Challenge competition, go on an organised ride, enjoy bicycle powered smoothies, get more involved in your local cycling club or are simply curious - the Summer of Cycling has something for everyone.
