2 bike try-out roadshows... Get Cycling invented bike try-out roadshows 15 years ago, and we ve been developing them ever since. Our events come in all shapes and sizes, with bike choice and activities to meet your needs and budget. Everyone, from very small children to senior citizens, has fun on both conventional and more specialised cycles, in a safe and very supportive environment. We have specialised versions for schools, universities, sports halls, community groups and workplaces. Cycling Festivals We also provide complete festivals: up to 200 cycles on multiple themed try-out tracks, plus static pedalling attractions, and including full project management. We have entertained up to 6000 participants at these events. 2 For more information visit

5 disability events For people with disabilities cycling offers exercise, fun, mobility and independence. We take specialised disability try-out roadshows to community groups and special schools in various parts of the UK. We have also run largescale disability cycling festivals. We have radically increased the number and range of options available by also retailing refurbished and new cycles. We have a choice of around 50 models at our try-out centre in York. We are nominated advisors and suppliers of cycles to the Family Fund Charity. 5

6 schools activities Our Get Cycling Activity Day is an exciting and memorable day of learning and bike try-out fun, for primary or secondary. A typical day includes a humorous dramabased assembly presentation on cycling. This includes our own toe-tapping 10-minute video. Then cycling sessions on the yard, in groups of 25 to 35. We have been to almost a thousand schools: client evaluations of our London tours give us 100% ratings. At our SCHOOL RUN TRY-OUT SHOW families test-ride the options and our clients can promote cycle training. For our unique DYNAMO ACTIVITY CHALLENGE we use our events to engage the school community to commit to one practical move each towards a healthier lifestyle, with follow-up.
