The mode is simple: participants have to jump their bike over a bar that gets higher and higher. Each rider has several attempts to overcome the height. Whoever reaches the highest height wins the contest.
There's cash in hand to be won:
250 francs for first place, 150 for second place and 100 francs for third place

The Folding Bike Battle brings speed, technique and lots of fun to the Cycle Week short track.

Wanted: 32 participants.
The Bicycle Catwalk Contest at Cycle Week turns the short track into a rolling stage:
150 meters of asphalt. Endless attitude. The jury doesn't measure the time. It measures courage.
