Purpose & Vision

At its heart, the festival is about more than bicycles. It’s about reimagining how we move through our city, how we connect with our surroundings, and how we build communities around sustainable choices. We believe cycling is a powerful tool for change — reducing emissions, improving public health, strengthening local economies, and connecting people to their neighbourhoods. By creating a welcoming, vibrant public space dedicated to everyday cycling, we want to help more people fall in love with moving through Oslo by bike.

Our goals:

• Accessibility: Make cycling knowledge, resources, and support easy for anyone to access.

• Community: Build bridges between cyclists, neighbourhood groups, local businesses, and city initiatives.

• Momentum: Inspire small changes that make daily cycling more appealing and achievable.

What to Expect

The festival will feature a mix of hands-on activities, learning opportunities, and community experiences, including:

• Ending Group Ride – Guided group ride showcasing a safe, scenic urban route.

• Fix-It Lane – Drop-in repair support and “learn-by-doing” stations.

• Family & New-Rider Zone – Skills areas, cargo-bike demos, helmet fittings, and kid-friendly cycling activities.

• Micro-Talks & Panels – Practical talks on commuting, gear, safety, and infrastructure.

• Try-A-Bike Corner – Opportunities to test e-bikes, adaptive bikes, and cargo solutions.

• Circular Market – Refurbished bikes, accessories, and locally made products.

• Community Hub – Meet advocacy groups, neighbourhood projects, and cycling collectives.

• Drinks & Snacks – Food and drink stalls and space to gather.

• More than just a bike event: We present it as a cultural, public-space, and sustainability initiative.
