Bike Week 2008

City Council employees and VIPs showed their support for National Bike Week 2008 by participating in a VIP Lunchtime Cycle ride with picnic and a Cyclists' Breakfast. The events organised by Travelchoice aimed to encourage more people to cycle through highlighting the variety of off road cycle routes in Peterborough and the benefits cycling can have on health and wellbeing.

 

The VIP Cycle Ride culminated in a tour and demonstration of the Peterborough BMX Track at Orton Malbourne, which is gearing up to host the British Championships in August. The BMX Track has made several recent improvements thanks to Peterborough City Council investment and is keen to illustrate the importance of this facility for the local community.

Council staff that already cycle to work were rewarded with a free breakfast from Café Nova, the Depot or Manor Drive.
