Thousands of cyclists took to Victoria Embankment to participate in the two day festival over the weekend.
The Great Notts Bike Ride saw a 15% increase in entries compared to 2014 over the weekend, as more than 4,000 cyclists from across the country came to the city to embrace the sport for a weekend of cycling related activities.
The event was held for the 34th year on Sunday as riders navigated 25, 50 or 100 mile routes over the course of Fathers Day.
The organisers saw the best turnout of cyclists in the events history.
Road bikes, trikes, tandems and even unicycles filled the streets to have a go at one of the many activities or rides that were going on.
There was also the more family orientated Nottingham City Ride which offered 2.5, 7.5 and 10 mile routes through the city and saw lots of children and families participating.
Thousands of spectators also joined in with the fun as an Events Village was set up on site providing food stalls and plenty of activities to get involved with, such as a pedal powered stage which saw Nottingham based band Johnny and the Raindrops entertaining the crowds.
Chris Simon, Director of Perfect Motion talks about the reasons behind Cycle Live during the event.
Many of the people taking part in the event were also raising money for charities with the Nottingham based When You Wish Upon a Star, the official charity partner of the event, set to receive around £20,000 in funds as they celebrate their 25th anniversary.
The is one of many cycling events to take place this summer as Nottingham works to establish a strong cycling culture and promote more involvement in the sport.
The event saw cyclists of all ages take part.
In May the Milk Race also took place in the city giving the public the chance to ride with British Olympians Ed Clancy and Steven Burke.
