The pair will ride around Preston the night before the Thursday, July 27 event and talk about their journey in Avenham Park.

Cycling journalist Jack and Gavin will discuss cycling both urban and rural areas of Lancashire, their shared interests in cycling infrastructure and ideas about using cycling to find routes in and out of a city.

There will also be time for the audience to contribute and ask their own questions.

The event is part of Gavin’s work for The Connected City project by In Certain Places, a series of events exploring areas that will be affected by the City Deal – a scheme that aims to deliver new jobs and housing in Preston.
