From 12 – 18 April 2010 Brighton & Hove Children’s Festival returns for its fourth year to transform the city. The festival offers free and accessible opportunities for children to participate and enjoy.

On Tuesday 13 April, the council's JourneyOn campaign will host a special event devoted to cycling as part of the Children’s Festival. We will be transforming Jubilee Street into Bicycle Alley so that children and their parents can have some ‘wheelie’ good fun!

Have you ever tried the egg and spoon race on a bike? How about having a go at the limbo on two wheels? Parents and children can team up for a Patch the Puncture competition and win a set of bike lights. Our Children’s Bike Doctor will be on hand to check your bike over in time for the summer. There will also be a relaxed and safe area for parents and toddlers to try out bike seats and trailers.

In Jubilee Square there will be a number of activities including o bike to the future2 graphic ur epic virtual bicycle ride to infinity and beyond - Bike to the Future 2. Children climb into the saddle of special static bikes to watch a virtual cycle ride! The film lasts approx 3 minutes and is suitable for children aged 6-11.

Children will also be able to team up and play with a Nintendo DS powered purely by bicycle power. If your team mate stops cycling, the Nintendo DS will stop working!

Plus there's also a story teller enchanting listeners with fantastical cycle stories and a workshop to bedazzle your bike.
