I Bike MCR is a grassroots community group of cyclists who have been organising events since 2006. They aim to cater to everyone using pedal power, regardless of age, background or ability. The events lined up for the festival are designed to be as accessible as possible.

Organiser Nes Brierley explains: "In the same way that the bicycle enables people from all backgrounds to move around the city, we aim for things to be free by using community spaces and materials that are donated to us."

I Bike MCR run events throughout the year, from weekly and monthly bike rides to film screenings, and host a month long festival in March-April. This Mini Fest is designed as a precursor to particularly encourage just-arrived students to get on their bikes. There’s far more on offer than there’s space for here, so see the website for details. Whatever your experience of cycling, it’s definitely a good time to saddle up.
