DRIVING IN LONDON ON TWO WHEELS

Last Sunday saw the London’s roads free from traffic when more than 65,000 cyclists joined The Mayor of London’s Sky Ride.

The 15km route opened at 9.30am until 4.30pm where cyclists of all ages took part and saw the sights of London including, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Place and the Tower of London.

Kelly Brooke the Sky Ride Ambassador, said it was great to see thousands of cyclists come down and enjoy the traffic free and safe environment. So if you were part of the 65,000 who took part,well done you,makes a change from your redhill driving lessons !

There was lots of entertainment including music, fancy dress, sporting challenges and much more. For those that wanted to enjoy a traffic free London, but don’t want to cycle there are food markets and picnic areas.

It is important to remember to look after yourselves and other cyclists. Ensure you are wearing a helmet, drink plenty of water and wear sun cream. Remember all ages are welcome and there will be cyclists of all abilities, so take in the sights and enjoy the ride.
