London goes car free for a day. Get ready to enjoy some of the capital's best-loved landmarks from your bike. For one day, during London Freewheel, a large part of central London will be closed to all traffic, leaving you free to take in sights like The London Eye and Buckingham Palace from your bike. You'll also be joined by roving cycle-based entertainers bringing music and fun to the day and there's space to chill out and relax at special rest stops. London Freewheel is completely free, but attendance is very popular so it's a good idea to register now: www.londonfreewheel.com/register/register.asp
It's a great day out so put it in your diary and don't miss out!
