Finally if you’d like to help with the kick off event, the street parade on Saturday 11 May from midday, the organisors are looking for stewards (with mobile phone, please).

Bike Week - 4C
It's national Bike Week.
And we are planning another 4C = City Chief Cycle Challenge! Taking our politicians 'roon the toon - cycling, chatting, exchanging views. John Dobson Street should feature quite heavily this time, as there are immediate plans to make it cycle-friendly (as an alternative to Northumberland Street). We are eager to see the changes since last year.
