There's a grand opening of a new facility in Pickering on Sunday.
The new pump track will be opened on Pickering Community Park, Woodlands, off Whitby Road.
A pump track is a cycling track with a circuit of rollers and turns that allows riders to gain momentum by pumping their bodies up and down instead of pedaling.
Between 11am and 3pm, there'll be slack-lining, BMX displays and refreshments.
Mike Potter is from Pickering Community Interest Company:
Pump tracks are designed to be ridden without pedaling or pushing, and can be used by a variety of riders, including those on bikes, skateboards, scooters, and wheelchairs. They are relatively simple to use and can accommodate a range of rider skill levels.
Mike says all are welcome and there's been plenty of work involved:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
