GET ready to pedal into an exciting adventure at a Wrexham country park, during Bike Week (June 10-16).
Thanks to funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Pedal Power Parade is back for 2024 at Alyn Waters Country Park, and promises to be better than ever.
The Pedal Power Parade is a vibrant trail of creatively decorated bikes displayed throughout a one-mile cycle loop at the park. Community groups, charities, schools and businesses have come together to transform ordinary bicycles into extraordinary works of art. This year's parade aims to foster community spirit, promote wellbeing, and advocate for environmental sustainability and sustainable transport.

Jane Edwards, community support hub officer for AVOW at the Gwersyllt Community Hub, said: "This is Gwersyllt Community Hub's second year of being involved in the Pedal Power Parade. Adults and children have enjoyed adding photos, crochet squares, flowers, names and more to the bike, showing great community spirit. The Hub is looking forward to getting out and about in the fresh air and visiting Alyn Waters to see all the Pedal Power bikes on display. Diolch."

Michelle Ward, from Porvair Sciences Limited, on the Wrexham Ind Estate, added: "Being part of this year's Pedal Power Parade has been great. Decorating the bike with waste material really makes you think about waste differently and has engaged everyone involved."
The parade takes place from Monday, June 10 to Sunday, June 16, between 10am-3pm.
Visitors can vote next week from the Pedal Power Wrexham Facebook page, for their favourite bike. The Pedal Power Parade is made possible by funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the support from Cadwyn Clwyd, AVOW, and Wrexham County Borough Council.
