Freecycle weekend in London

The media build-up set the scene last weekend's festival of cycling in London as a mass experience not to be forgotten.

                                   It was warm, it was well-organised, it was wonderful.

As out-of-towners, we thoroughly enjoyed ambling round central London for 8 miles.  Best sights were the Tower of London and riding alongside the Thames with no traffic distractions.

The carnival atmosphere was uplifted by music and all the generations taking part -  small children pushing their parents on tagalongs, or weaving in and out of the crowds with their little legs pumping away. 


 
 
To cap it all, Liz got to sit in the golden throne previously occupied by Chris Froome and friends
