Cambridge Festival of Cycling 2024

The Cambridge Festival of Cycling is a series of cycle-themed events running throughout September, organised by the group Camcycle.

With social rides, events, community stalls and many other activities, there’s an opportunity for everyone to get involved and celebrate the inclusive world of cycling.

The flagship event is the Cargo Carnival on Saturday 21 September, which is a grand cycle parade through Cambridge, and an opportunity to learn and buy from bike traders.

Other highlights include the Love To Ride Cycle September campaign, where riders can cycle anywhere at anytime in the month to earn points and win prizes, and families can also take part in Cycle to School Week, which begins on Monday 23 September, to get more children and parents cycling.

Camcycle will also be taking its stall to the Cambridge Criterium, the Stourbridge Medieval Fair, Cambridge Wellness Festival, the Greener Queen Edith’s Day, and Arbury and Kings Hedges Community Fair.
