The popular Pumptrack returns to the Clock Tower Square. Kids can take their bikes and scooters and ride the fifty meters of fun. Riders use an up and down ‘pumping’ motion to propel the bicycle/scooter forward instead of pedalling, providing the perfect tool to improve balance, learn skills and improve confidence on a bike.
