This year’s cycle-themed community fun day - Wintringham on Wheels – returned with a packed programme to showcase and develop skills, service bikes, support security and encourage residents to get pedalling.
1 August 2025
From high-flying BMX stunt displays to pedal-powered smoothies and practical support, the event catered for all ages, abilities and interests.
Highlights included jaw-dropping BMX performances, complete with obstacle jumps and daring tricks – including jumping over a willing assistant lying on the ground! Children also had the chance to take part in a BMX workshop, inspiring the next generation of riders.
Attendees also had an opportunity to try out electric bicycles courtesy of App Bikes, and Cambridgeshire County Council’s road safety team encouraged children to cycle smart and safely with fun and interactive activities.
For bicycle owners, Dr Bike held free bike repair and servicing sessions to check tyres, brakes and lights to ensure bikes were roadworthy and ready for long summer cycle rides. Security was a top priority too, with the local Transport Police and PCSOs providing free security bike marking and advice.
Adding a fun and tasty twist, Wintringham’s travel planning partner smart journeys brought along a smoothie bike so that thirsty attendees could blend healthy drinks through pedal power! Meanwhile, Perky Beans mobile barista was on hand with a delicious range of beverages, refreshments and cakes.
Christine Littlewood, Community Development Lead for Wintringham, said: “It was great to see so many people come along to this year’s Wintringham on Wheels event. It was a fantastic day – full of energy, fun and pedal power!”
“Events like this show how cycling can be for everyone – whether you’re a beginner, a family looking for fun outings together, or a serious athlete. Hopefully, it has inspired even more people to get on their bikes and enjoy all the development and local area has to offer.”
