Bike Fabulous 2012: Another Fab Cycle Style Event

Shoppers in Manchester Arndale on Saturday 23rd June were treated to the third Bike Fabulous cycle style event, promoting cool cycling with the motto ‘cycle wear, cycle everywhere’.

Music was provided by the pedal-powered sound system, with bikes pedalled not only by our volunteers, but also by many members of the public. Between the three bikes powering the sound system, 300 miles were cycled.

Alongside all this, shoppers had a range of information on cycling, including maps of Greater Manchester areas (300 of which were given out) and our Pocket Guide to Cycling, and were given the chance to win a bike and other prizes.
