We’re delighted to invite you to the Navan Bike Week Family Cycle, part of National Bike Week, to promote cycling as a safe, healthy and enjoyable mode of transport.

Update 8:30pm Saturday

The event is now FULL and for safety reasons we can’t accept any more participants.

The response to the event has been phenomenal, beyond our wildest expectations. Please follow us on Facebook or Twitter for announcements of future events.

Thank you

Kevin, Ed, Dónal and Dave Navan Cycling Initiative

Introduction

The event is a cycle around Navan, starting at 2:30pm on Sunday 27th September 2020 at the Fair Green car park

The cycle is open to everyone with a bike! For the safety and health of everyone involved, we have some rules:

• Our insurer requires that all cyclists wear a helmet
• Cyclists younger than 6 are very welcome to take part as passengers on an adult bike
• Please check that your bike is in good working order before the event (our marshals will have some tools in case anything goes wrong during the cycle)

Safety

Navan Cycling Initiative is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable event. All participants must:

• Wear a helmet
• Be at least 6 years of age (unless being a passenger with an adult)
• Be able to cycle independently - no balance bikes, no stabilisers
• Have a bike that is roadworthy
• Observe the Rules of the Road at all times
• Follow the instructions of bicycle marshals and Gardaí
• Not pass the lead cyclist

Everyone is responsible for their own safety. Parents or guardians are responsible for the safety of their children.

First Aid will be provided by a trained first- aider/marshal who will follow the group.
