A Grand ‘ol cycle to Oxford Street

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Chris (Cycletastic)

On a beautiful crisp December morning the Cycletastic bike ride set out from Kilburn to discover just how easy it is to get to Oxford Street by bike and then do a bit of shopping. The route there took in fairly quiet streets and we took a nice gentle pace taking in Maida Vale, St Johns Wood, Regents Park and Harley Street. We even timed it just right to watch a bit of penguin feeding time at the zoo.
If your interested in joining us on future rides please add your comments below and subscribe on the website and we’ll be sure to let you know the next time we are off to the shops.

Come Cycle With Us Sat 10/12/11 10am

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Chris (Cycletastic)

Cycletastic is taking advantage of traffic free Oxford Street on Saturday to encourage local cyclists to join us on a group ride to the shops.

We depart from Kilburn Square (by Argos) at 10am. It will be a gentle ride with a few short hills as we thread past Maida Vale, St Johns Wood, Regents Park and Harley Street to park at the rear of John Lewis. Participants can then head off and explore the shops for a few hours picking up a few bargains on the way before we meet again to return to Kilburn by no later than 4pm.

Riding in a group with our Volunteers and Marshals will give you peace of mind as we work to ensure a safe passage on the road. Your shopping can be carried back in our bike trailers (towed by able volunteers) but we do encourage you to also bring a rucksack and/or panniers to help ensure there is space for all.

Please see our previous posts for full details.
