“The engagement from the local authorities and local sports partnerships has once again been fantastic this year. It’s great to see so many events taking place all around the country. 

There really is something for everyone, from the popular family bike festivals and community cycles to local heritage and greenway cycles to school’s events.  I’d encourage everybody to get involved.”
