Lambeth council organised this event providing a route around the borough, using the existing cycle routes along quiet roads. At each park were hubs with different cycle based activities, including cycle yoga, Dr Bike mechanics offering free bike checks, pedal powered smoothie makers and HGV training-this was great! It's quite unbelievable how little lorry drivers can see, the advice is stay back, and if you need to get in front be aware that they can only see you if you around 2 metres in front.
From what other people have said this years Bike the Borough event was much smaller and had much less at each hub, but despite that it was still a lovely day out, and great to explore some of the bike routes I have never used before.
