Top stunt cyclists to show off their skills at NW Big Bike Fest

It’s all action in the Guildhall Square this weekend as the NW Big Bike Fest gets underway, featuring a giant televised velodrome and some of the best stunt cycling in the country.

Organised by Derry City and Strabane District Council with support from Tourism NI and Sustrans, the event is just one of the highlights of the exciting line up of bike orientated activity taking place as part of NI Bike Week,

Following on from the success of the Maiden City Criterium on Tuesday night, there will be more serious pedal power on display at the Bike Try Out Roadshow over the weekend, followed on Sunday by a high speed street velodrome.

On Saturday in the Guildhall Square there will be the opportunity to join in the fun at the Bike Try Out Roadshow, with Mega Bikes, KMX Karts, Bike Simulators and even a Bike Powered Smoothie Maker! Other activities include a Bike Powered Scalextric and why not try your hand at creating some Bike Art?

On Sunday in the Guildhall Square there will be the addition of a high speed street velodrome, with some heart pounding, action packed theatre of track style cycling.

For more leisurely bike lovers Saturday will feature the Wild Foodie Cycle exploring the beauty of the Sperrins taking in the rural villages of Eglinton and Park Village and sampling some of the best locally sourced cuisine. And for early risers the Dawn Cycle will leave St Columb’s Park House at 7.30am for a tranquil four mile trip along the local riverside greenway paths.
