British Cycling Family Festival

Our cycling community partner British Cycling is helping us celebrate the completion of Binley Cycleway by hosting a Family Cycling Festival in Caludon Castle Park.

The day will include:

• Learn to ride sessions for the whole family
• Cycling games and other activities for children
• Free cycle maintenance service - minor repairs only
• Led rides around the local area, including parts of Binley Cycleway

When: 10am-2pm, Sunday 12 July
Where: Caludon Castle Park, Farren Road CV2 5EH
Cost: FREE - drinks and snacks available from food stands at a cost

Cycle parking is available in the park.  A limited number of car parking spaces are also available within the park, and car parking is also available on local streets as the permit parking restrictions will not be enforced on the day.  However, please do not park on footways, on yellow lines, or across driveways.  

Learn to Fix

Cycling is already a great low cost way to get around, but you can save even more money by learning the basics of fixing your own bike.  Our Learn to Fix course returns from 11 June, taking place on Thursdays at Coventry Cycle Centre in Hillfields, and now also on Saturdays at Rebel Manifesto in Earlsdon.   More details will be available here soon.

Dr Bike

Baffled by brakes?  Peeved with pedals?  Gears are grinding your, er, gears?  Come along to a free Dr Bike session, where a technician will undertake a bike safety check and carry out minor repairs.

Dr Bike mechanics provide free or low-cost on-site safety checks and minor repairs to ensure bicycles are safe to ride. Services typically include adjusting brakes and gears, repairing punctures, inflating tyres, lubricating moving parts, and tightening components. They fix issues on-site and offer advice on necessary further fixes if required. 

Parkride

Midland Mencap's popular Parkride is an event that allows everyone to enjoy cycling, regardless of ability.  You can try trikes, side-by-side cycles and a whole range of other cycles adapted for any type of body.  Read more about the Parkride programme.

Bike Breakfast

Baxters Baristas
16 Hales Street
Coventry CV1 1JD
