Ride Lancaster
Cyclists of all ages are invited to ‘Ride Lancaster’ on Sunday July 10 as part of the Bay Health Festivals organised by University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.
A section of Lancaster’s one-way system will be reduced to one lane on the morning of the Sunday to allow visitors to enjoy traffic-free riding from the Lune cycle track to Dalton Square. This is from 9.30 am - 12 noon and the event will be officially opened by the Leader of the City Council, Caroline Jackson.
Many newcomers to cycling can feel intimidated by traffic on the roads, which is why we’ll be creating a temporary segregated cycle route as part of this event.
Traffic will still be able to move through the centre of Lancaster, but cyclists will be borrowing one of the lanes of the one-way system for a few hours to encourage beginners and families to join us.
Cycling Village
The centre-piece of this year’s event will be a ‘cycling village’ in Lancaster’s Dalton Square, with chance to meet cycling experts and try fun cycling activities.
“Our cycling village aims to bring people together united by the simple pleasure of riding a bike, and hopefully encourage non-cyclists to give it a go.”
