Cycle Road show in Chester
Pennine Events is taking its cycle road show to the launch event of Chester City Council�s status as a �Cycling Demonstration Town�.
Chester is one of 17 towns across the country nominated for a share of �100 million in Government funding under the �Cycling Demonstration Towns Project� that aims to enable cycling to become a genuine option for people to travel around the towns and city in future.
Pennine Events will attend the Council�s launch event on Saturday, 25th April in the centre of Chester where it will provide visitors with a chance to create a smoothie drink by pedalling a static bike. Visitors can also try a cycle simulator, called a Computrainer, where they can pedal along routes displayed on a computer screen to test their fitness and stamina and to learn cycling tips.
The company, which regularly organises cycling events for councils across the country, including Pedal for Scotland, the largest bike ride in Scotland, and Pendle Bike Fest in Lancashire, will also be on hand to provide lots of information to visitors about all aspects of cycling.
Mark Sandamas, Director of Pennine Events, said: �We are looking forward to supporting Chester�s launch event as a Cycling Demonstration Town. As a company that works with many different councils and other public sector bodies we have a strong ethos to promote the wider health benefits of cycling for people � just as Chester and the other nominated towns are trying to do.�
