Cycle Heritage Leicester win funding. The press release reads: Cyclemagic, the community based cycling organisation, has been awarded £38,500 by the Heritage Lottery Fund towards its unique Cycle Heritage Leicester project. Match funding for the £95,000 two-year project will come from Leicester City Council and Leicester Museums. Long overshadowed by large-scale bicycle manufacture in neighbouring cities, the aim of Cycle Heritage Leicester is to highlight the important part the city has played in the social and sporting development of cycling in the UK. Officially launched on May 22nd the project will research and record the rich and varied history of cycling in Leicester from the world famous racing stadiums of the 1880s through to unique events such as the recent Spokesfests and the world's largest gathering of Penny Farthings for 120 years. Working with schools and community groups the project will record a wide variety of memories from current and former cyclists and also research the history of the city's many early cycling clubs, manufactures and well known figures. In partnership with Leicester Museums a web based archive of photographs and historic documents will be created. Cycle Heritage Leicester will also promote cycling history with events and exhibitions of photography, research, bicycles and ephemeron. The project finale in May 2006 will be a major celebration of the history of cycling on Leicester's Abbey Park. Roger Lovell. Cyclemagic. Unit 3, 72-74 Friday, Street, Leicester.
