Cycle Safety & Security Day


Event includes bike tour of Chiswick House Gardens

On Saturday 23rd March Hounslow Council in partnership with the Metropolitan Police are running a Cycle Safety & Security Day.

There will be Cycle Security Marking as well as 'Dr Bike' sessions from 11-3 pm where members of the public can have their cycles serviced. Both services are free. Dr Bike will be on hand to fix any minor problems and security marking of your bike frame.

There will also be a led ride and tour of Chiswick House Gardens, departing from Chiswick Police Station at 13:00. The ride is suitable for anyone able to ride a bike, and will be escorted by trained cycle instructors. All that is required is for you to bring your own bike and arrive by 12.45 to get ready for the off.

Prizes such as locks and helmets will also be up for grabs for anyone who completes the Cycle Questionnaire being handed out on the day.

The overall event will run from 11:00 - 15:00 outside Chiswick Police Station.

Councillor Colin Ellar, cabinet member for environment, said: "Whether you're a budding Bradley Wiggins or if you just want to go along for the ride, this makes a great outdoor event.

"Together with the forthcoming RideLondon, it's another sign of Hounslow's burgeoning reputation as one of London's best biking boroughs."
