Getting a taste for bike week

Free homemade chocolate brownies at the bike breakfastThis morning I attended a bike breakfast in Islington (London) which was stationed along a very busy cycle route behind Angel tube station. It was a glorious day and the cycle path was incredibly busy with people pedaling their way into work. For any rider that chose to dismount and take a break were rewarded with homemade cake, croissants, brownies, orange juice, tea and coffee , even their bikes checked by a team of Bike Doctors and the obligatory flyer thrust upon them. This was all set up by the Islington division of the LCC (London Cycling Campaign) and it was free. I loved it, it involved bicycles and food. Tomorrow the bike breakfast is practically in my back yard in London Fields and it even promises porridge! Hopefully see you there from 7.30am.
