A COMMUNITY event introduced hundreds of novice and experienced cyclists to the benefits of bike riding.
Visitors who attended Reading Cycle Festival on Sunday were treated to a range of fun activities at Christchurch Meadows.
Urban Displays performed a mesmerising stunt show, while there was also a chance to ride unicycles and e-bikes.
Organiser Greg Woodford said: “Everyone had a fantastic time. Our aim is to introduce cycling to people and ultimately get them using their bikes outside of our events.
“We love doing the Cycle Festival and our plan is to come back next year.”
The event was part of the wider Reading Climate Festival programme.
Information stalls featuring Sport in Mind, Ethical Reading and Reading Cycle Campaign were on hand to help visitors learn more about sustainability in the town.
The Green Bike Good Company was also present to explain how they plan to become carbon neutral.
Younger riders also had the chance to take on an obstacle course, enjoy an ice cream.
More experienced cyclists were able to get a free bike check from Reading Bicycle Kitchen.
