Following the success of previous cycling events, cycling will once again be well represented at this year’s People in the Park event, taking place on Saturday 16th May from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
A range of local cycling groups will be represented, including the Cycling Opportunities Group for Salisbury (COGS), Breeze Rides (women’s social rides) and SRAM (Salisbury Road and Mountain Cycling Club). Representatives from Charlottes Tandems (free loans of tandems for those with disabilities) will also be present
Visitors will be able to explore a wealth of information on cycling—how to get around the city by bike, which groups and rides might suit you best, and practical advice on where and how to cycle confidently.
A variety of cycle‑related activities will also be running throughout the day including:
🔧 Dr Bike Checks
Local volunteers will be offering free bike safety checks and basic repairs, from puncture fixes to gear adjustments, helping to keep bikes safe and road‑ready across the city.
🚲 Smoothie Bike
Hop on Salisbury’s own pedal‑powered Smoothie Bike and blend yourself a delicious, healthy drink using your own pedal power.
🔐 Bike Security Marking
Our brilliant local PCSOs will be present from 1230h to provide free bike security marking and security advice to deter theft and improve the chances of recovering your bike if it’s ever lost or stolen.
