About

Richmond's Cargo Bike Fair is returning this September – bigger and better, and as one of just five flagship hubs for the London Cycling Festival. Taking place on Sunday 20 September from 11am to 4pm outside Richmond Station, the free, family-friendly council event will bring together residents, businesses, cycling experts and community groups to showcase how cargo bikes can transform everyday journeys. Following the success of last year's inaugural fair, this year's event will be the only London Cycling Festival event in outer London dedicated to cargo bikes, cementing Richmond upon Thames' reputation as the cargo bike capital of London. With Car Free Day taking place the following week, the fair will give visitors the chance to see first-hand how cargo bikes can provide a practical, affordable and greener alternative to the car – from the school run and weekly shop to carrying equipment and making business deliveries. Against the backdrop of the Richmond Cycle Hub, visitors can test ride a wide range of cargo bikes, meet retailers and cycling experts, and discover how these versatile bikes can make everyday journeys easier. There will be something for everyone, including: - Test rides of leading cargo bike brands - Expert advice on cycling, safety and maintenance - Dr Bike mechanic services and police bike marking - Adapted cycles for people with limited mobility - Children's cycling activities and skills sessions - Family-friendly entertainment and activities - Live music from The Basement Door - Food from cargo bike vendors and a food truck - Opportunities to meet local cycling groups and organisations Join us on Sunday 20 September and see why more people are choosing pedal power for everyday journeys.
