I almost forgot this important date, but fortunately I did not and so it’s not too late to promote it now: the inaugural Kerry Bicycle Festival is about to start tonight, and I hope many will follow. As a biker (the picture shows my own bicycle on a beach in Fenit) I think it’s about time to encourage more people to enjoy cycling as a great way of not simply getting from one point to another but also to have a lot of fun in between.So this is what the organizers say about the event:Kerry Bicycle Festival is a four day free festival which brings together a selection of diverse events which aim to celebrate the bicycle. This festival encompasses musical, artistic and outdoor events all of which are free and will take place within the environs of Tralee town.  This festival was established in 2008 in order to raise the profile of cycling culture by making it more accessible and attractive and to promote cycling as an environmentallysustainable and cost effective mode of transport.  This is a voluntary organisation comprising a group of people  with diverse interests and backgrounds all with a common goal.For more information and the exact festival schedule please visit kerrybicyclefestival.org. See you there!
