Saddle up for bike festival

FAMILIES in Edinburgh will be able to learn new skills at the city's first cycling festival.

Edinburgh Cycling Festival, organised by cycling project Bike Club and Edinburgh Leisure, will bring together clubs and projects from across the city, with activities to suit everyone, including an obstacle course, cycle training activities and the chance to "Bling your Bike".

Bike Club officer Amy Hickman said: "Edinburgh's cycling culture has been growing and this is a great opportunity for the people of the city to see different types of cycling and find one that suits them."
