Last Sunday I caught the tail end of the Veteran Cycle Club's annual event at the Herne Hill Velodrome. It has to be said, there's something pretty awesome about seeing a Penny Farthing "racing" around the a bike track against other cycles from antiquity (I'd tell you what they were, but I haven't a clue - a velocipede? Solid tyred bike? No idea!). Unfortunately we only got there for the very end, so I think we'll have to return next year, but it does look they put on other events
Loads of bike events coming up this week (being Bike Week and all), but a few which have caught my eye are:
- Bike and Kite Festival - Blackheath, tomorrow and Sunday
- Southwark Cyclists Film Festival - Shortwave Cinema, Bermondsey, Monday evening - showing shorts plus Breaking Away. Email barrymasonuk@googlemail.com for details
- Greenfest - Furnival Gardens, Hammersmith, Sunday - not just bikes but general hippy-dippery
- Free breakfasts for cyclists - (Camden, Tower Hamlets, Hackney. Plus many others)
