Bike activity day in Crow Nest Park, Dewsbury

About the event

Try e-bikes, trikes, and smoothie bikes at Crow Nest Park activity day

You are invited to a fun-filled day of activity for all ages and abilities at Crow Nest Park in Dewsbury. Come along on Sunday 13 July between 10am and 3pm and get pedalling!

The ‘Go Active’ event is being organised by Walk, Wheel, Ride Kirklees who will be bringing along a range of bicycles for everyone to try out.

There is no charge to attend, and all activities are free too, although some activities will need to be booked in advance. Helmets will be provided where needed.

What’s on?
The event has been designed to be inclusive to people of all ages and abilities – wheelchair bikes are on offer to try alongside e-bikes, trikes, hand cycles, tandems, and a variety of other modes of travel.

Children’s activities
Children will have the chance to try out balance bikes and trikes, and experienced coaches will be on hand to help them learn to ride and improve their confidence.

Book your e-bike ride
For those wanting to cycle but with some help up the hills, you can book onto an e-bike test ride with EPIKS. There will also be a range of e-cargo bikes, which are ideal for parents or for those who need to transport goods.

Register your bike to prevent theft
You can also bring along your own bike to get it registered with the Bike Register to prevent theft and make it easier to find your bike if it’s stolen. The Neighbourhood Policing Team will be around between 10am and 2pm to register your bike for free and apply a personalised barcode.

What’s the event about?
Walk, Wheel, Ride was set up by Environmental Projects in Kirklees with the mission to get more people, walking, wheeling (using a wheelchair or mobility aid) and cycling in Kirklees. Their active travel hubs in Huddersfield, the Holme Valley and Batley and Spen are a place where residents can discover the different new, lower-carbon ways of getting about.
