Edinburgh Skyride - Saturday 8 September - Cycling for Fun!

Edinburgh is holding a SkyRide event on Saturday 8 September - join hundreds if not thousands of others for some family-friendly cycling.
 
Open to all.  Everyday bikes and everyday clothing welcome!  (You can hire a bike if you don’t have one.)
 
Final details of the roads to be cleared of cars will be revealed on the SkyRide website (below) but in total are expected to be over 8km in length, centred around Holyrood Park.  The roads will be free of motor traffic from 10-4, and people of any age can come along and try cycling in a traffic free environment throughout that period.  You can come and you can leave at any time and at any of the official locations – or anywhere you like on the route!  Prizes too!

There will be entertainment and stalls at the start/end of the route (near the Parliament) and at key locations along the route.  Stalls will include bike-related, e.g. Dr Bike, bike shops, hopefully a Spokes stall, etc; but there will also be plenty more general entertainment.

See http://www.goskyride.com/EdinburghSkyRide for more info, and to register your interest.   See also www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2012/07/edinburgh-skyride-8-september/ for updates.
