2012-04-28 - Love London, Go Dutch - The Big Ride

Hey everyone..
As you probably know, I'm not a hugely political person HOWEVER there's a exception to every rule and I'm getting behind the LCC on this one and I hope you will too..

On 28 April the LCC is hosting : Love London, Go Dutch - The Big Ride.

They're trying to create UK's biggest ever traffic-free bike ride in support of safe and inviting streets for cycling. It's a short ride and they're even enouraging fancy dress...

• From: 11:00am
  
• To: 01:00pm
  
• Event type: Ride
  
• Contact: 020 7234 9310
  
• Difficulty: Family
  The more people that join, the bigger the signal we send to the mayoral candidates - that it's time for radical change in London to redesign busy roads, residential and shopping streets, and major junctions to make them safe for cycling.

is anyone going to come with me??

I know you and I do not know each other Jacqui but I will most certainly be up for it! :-)

yeah, should be a laugh, might try to get some friends from work involved

thats great @jakebrown and @hairnetnic - I'm actually quite excited about this.

Should be in town that day so will probably get involved too.

sounds good to me. I've already started working on the missus who hasn't been out on her bike for about a year!

I have no idea what I will be doing on this date, but it looks like something that would be good to do with my wife and daughter and to that end I am now subscribed to the thread and interested.

What - all of them?

That's like going as Earth, Wind and Fire - there's never less than about forty of them on stage. No wonder they're always touring, how're they supposed to retire?

Trying not to sound like a bell, but no doubt will, just so I understand completely, is the aim of this to get so many people to ride, meaning cars cannot move, or are the roads actually shut off?

You're referring to Critical Mass - this is different.

to clarify, this is a closed road ride. that means BRING YOUR FAMILY!! Both because it's promising to be an ace day out but also because I want to meet them!!
