A BMX stunt show, a static bike race and a bicycle-powered children’s carousel are just some of the free activities for families to celebrate the Women’s Tour this weekend.

More than 100 riders from the prestigious cycling race will be flagged off from High Street at 11am and then complete their 90 mile route to the finish line at St. Giles on Saturday 11 June.

Free, family-friendly activities will be held in St. Giles from 11am to 3pm to entertain crowds, organised by Oxford City Council.
