When World Cup fever gets too much to bear, can I suggest a pleasant diversion along the seafront?

Les Cyclistes is free and is being performed at 12.15pm, 2.15pm, 4pm and 5pm every day until June 18 on the lawns by the Peace Statue.

There are some great pieces of memorabilia and some affectionate caricaturing which will be recognisable to cyclists.

Live performance is mixed with archive film and contemporary video in intimate settings so the visitor enters a virtual world which is entertaining, knowledgable and fun - a popular experience.

It is an exploration of the hyperreal world of absurd comic performance and design where the spectator becomes part of a virtual reality.

The object of desire, the bike, gives the visitor the opportunity to explore time, place and space and social "moments" about age, gender and the current consuming passion for fitness, equilibrium and harmony in our personal lives.

There are also lively, amusing insights into the French and British attitudes to cycling, both past and present.
