Cycling City Comes to Redland

Cyclists of all ages and abilities are

invited to take part in a social bike ride from Redland this Sunday morning

(September 13th) as part of Bristol's Cycling City programme.

The ride, described as "very relaxed" will go at an easy pace

starting from St Andrews

Park (Effingham Road side) at 10.30. Redland

residents are invited to join in at Redland Green at 10.45.

Riders, who will be in the care of Cycling

City staff, will then head to the Downs, cross the Suspension Bridge and enter the Ashton

Court Estate.

A break at the Golf Cafe in Ashton

Court and a chance to explore the park will then

be followed by a return trip following the same route, which has been chosen to

minimise hills.

The ride will be about 12 miles in total and cyclists should reckon on the event

taking about two and a half hours.

The trip follows on from an earlier social bike ride from Bishopston in June

and will be followed by Cycling Sunday on September 20th at Redland Green

when Cycling City staff will be on hand to advise on

all aspects of cycling for adults and children.

Cycling City members have also been

visiting households in Redland and Bishopston this summer to give information

about the initiative. Cycling City aims to double the number of people in

Greater Bristol who regularly cycle.

Participants on this Sunday’s trip are asked

to contact the organisers on 315 5110 or infor@cyclingcitycub.com to let them

know they are taking part.

But, I reckon that if you just turned up

with your bike, no-one’s going to try and stop you taking part are they?

Are they?
