Vive La Swindon!
Tour de Swindon cycling events continue with Sustrans pop-up shop & bike demos

Cycling Pop-up Shop
Brunel Plaza
This weekend visitors enjoyed the chance have their picture taken on the 'Champ Elysees' in a French photo booth, enjoy static bike racing and find out more about cycling in and around Swindon.
Michell Cycles Bike Demo
Wharf Green
Fun on two wheels was had with the chance to ride around Wharf Green on bikes both modern and from a bygone era, including unusual more laid-back designs and even a bike made for snow riding (in the height of summer!)
The Tour de Swindon continue for the rest of July including another town centre show,
orienteering events, treasure hunts and Sky Rides plus the Grand Finale in Coate Water.
