A few years ago I heard about Sky Ride events.
There wasn’t so many back in them days and it was
all about closing the streets down to the traffic
so people who loved cycling could ride through.
It seemed like something I wanted to get involved in.
What it says all ages all abilities,
so I thought why not?
There’s a good chance to improve my riding skills.
My children wanted to
use the roads without the cars,
so I thought let me give it a go and come down
and see what it’s all about.
And I think it’s a great way to get people
safely on the road,
and to just get them out and about.
It’s not just about the cycling
you’ve actually got other things, like today for example,
you got the trampolines, which I am dying to have a go on.
You’ve also got a little mountain bike circuit
where they’re having races and kids love that.
There’s no way that the kids that come over here
aren’t going to want to try
and race their mates to see whose the quickest.

Riding a bike for fun,
getting out and exploring your local area
is a lot easier than you’d think.
See there’s the exercise element, that’s all good
but most importantly
it’s the family time that you’re promoting as well.
