THE city of York is to host a Sky Ride for the fourth year running, offering another traffic-free bike ride around the city for thousands of cycling enthusiasts.
Streets will be closed to traffic on Sunday, September 11, to allow cyclists of all ages and abilities to ride safely together.
Organisers British Cycling and Sky say the event will provide a free fun day out, with a real festival atmosphere, for families and friends to enjoy.
They are urging people to register their free place ahead of the event to take advantage of some special offers, and to encourage their family and friends to do the same.
Since hosting its first Sky Ride event in 2013, more than 23,000 cyclists have taken part in the York event.
The local council’s executive member for leisure Cllr Nigel Ayre said: “Last year’s event was a huge success with over 8,000 people taking part and I hope even more people will get on their bikes and come along to Sky Ride York 2016."
