Sky ride participant forgets York pothole menace
Last years event was not without incident so hopefully lessons will have been learned fro 2014.
Sky Ride York is set to be a brilliant day out. There will be music and entertainment, competitions and above all, a great traffic-free route to ride around the centre of York. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how old your bike is, or how fast you ride – at Sky Ride York there’s something for everyone.
Sky Ride ambassador Sir Chris Hoy said: “We want more people to enjoy riding a bike – that’s why Sky and British Cycling have teamed up to bring you Sky Ride. We’ve made it easier than ever to get out on your bike and spend quality time with your family and friends.
“Sky Rides close towns and cities for big bike events so you can ride safely on traffic-free streets, with a huge festival atmosphere and loads to do both on and off the bike. They are great fun and a great way to get on your bike.”
Everyone who registers their free place online will receive a Sky Ride lanyard that unlocks a fantastic bundle of on-the-day benefits and goodies. What’s more, the first 1,000 people to register at goskyride.com/York will also receive a limited edition Sky Ride gift on arrival at the event.
Sky Ride York is part of the Cycle Yorkshire legacy, with the aim to get more people cycling more often. The initiative comes after the 2014 Tour de France Grand Depart was held in the region on 5 and 6 July. For more information on Cycle Yorkshire visit http://cycle.yorkshire.com/
