On Yer Bike
Chain it

Pedal power to ya! Forget four wheel drive it's all about two wheel focus. For those who missed out on the World Naked Bike Ride a couple of weeks ago, fear not, as it's officially National Bike Week.

Not only does that mean more folk wheeling about the streets, dicing with the London traffic and breathing in that loverly fresh air but a huge range of cycle-cum-events, some of which are rather obscure.

How about a side portion of murder, radicalism and the petty bourgeoisie on the historic North London ride, or a long and leisurely cycle around the proposed venues for the 2012 Olympics before the bulldozers move in? A UJ favourite has to be the Lambeth social cycle which ends with an Olley's fish and chip supper plus a couple of rounds at the pub.

There are tons of one-off events going on plus the usual Bike2Work Breakfasts and Dr Bike repair and care sessions.

Unfortunately, or not, depending on your point of view there are no nudie events but you could always buy the World Naked Bike Ride DVD for a 31 minute bareback fix.

 

National Bike Week - now until Sunday June 25
