The festival will feature a range of activities depending on location, including marshalled rides, stalls, free bike checks, live entertainment and games.

Most events are taking place on 20 September, although the Brent event will run from 18 to 22 September, giving cyclists several opportunities to get involved.

The festival provides an opportunity for local cycling communities and independent cycling retailers to engage with riders and promote cycling at a local level, alongside the organised activities.

The London Cycling Festival is organised by the London Cycling Campaign in partnership with participating London boroughs, with support from Lime and the Zero Emissions Network.

All events are free to attend, although visitors are encouraged to book a ticket in advance through the festival's event map, which provides details of the nearest event and individual activities.

The festival comes as RideLondon remains on an indefinite pause, providing another opportunity for cyclists across the capital to take part in organised cycling events.
