Cycling in Hackney

Incidentally I saw a group of Mini Holland bureaucrats with clip boards in the middle of Whipps Cross roundabout last week presumably planning the destruction of this important buffer land between the forest and the built environment. If the cycling lobby get there way this unique area will be ruined. The destruction of this attractive area must be opposed.

Summer Solstice - Annual ride BIKING THE BOUNDS of Hackney - FREE
10.00am-3.00pm
Family-friendly annual bike ride around the Borough boundaries. Map or route on HCC website. The great annual circumnavigation of the borders of our diverse borough. It's a bit like the ancient tradition of beating the bounds of a parish on foot, except that the London Borough of Hackney is considerably bigger than a parish so it's best done by cycle. The ride typically takes 4-5 hours, depending on ride participants, and is about 20 miles long. We will have a lunch stop at the Clissold House café in Clissold Park, and aim to finish around 3.00pm at the Princess of Wales pub at Lea Bridge. The ride is family-friendly (there are only a few bits which are too difficult for children; e.g. we go around the north-eastern corner of Old Street roundabout, but this is easily circumnavigated) and offers very varied land- and cityscapes, from the lush common land of the Marshes along the River Lea to the hustle and bustle of Old Street.
Meet 10.00am at Hackney Town Hall, Mare Street (on the Black Path /Porters' Way)
