Quote the info I’ve got:
Dear all,
Please find below Bike Week events that CycleSheffield (formerly PedalPushers) have had a hand in.
We would be really pleased if as many cyclists as possible could get along next Saturday to Meersbrook Park where the Last Saturday BMX club will be putting on a display of their newly developed skills – a venture worth supporting by being there and perhaps trying some new skills yourself
and also please support the evening of bike films (prog below) at the Showroom on Monday 15 June – we have had great support from the Showroom and if popular then we may be able to put similar events on during the year.
if you’re interested in slow cycling or cycling chic then join us Tuesday evening in Sheffield city centre – weather permitting
as well as joining anything else that grabs your fancy!
