If there’s something you’d like to know that isn’t covered here, get in touch (haringey@lcc.org.uk). How easy is the ride?This is an easy 2 mile ride at a leisurely pace, which should be suitable for less experienced riders. We will proceed at the pace of the slowest riders, so we encourage families with younger riders to be near the front of the ride. Accompanied sensible children are welcome – please stay with them throughout the ride and alert a marshal immediately if you become separated. The cycle ride will take place on roads among other traffic, it is therefore NOT suitable for very young or unaccompanied children. As much of this ride as possible takes place in parks and on newly quietened roads. What should I wear?We’re happy for you to wear whatever you want. However we do recommend you bring a waterproof jacket, gloves and any other clothing/sunscreen suitable for the weather on the day. If you want to wear a helmet or a hi-viz jacket that’s fine too but we don’t insist on either. Is my bike suitable?This ride is suitable for a range of cycles. If you are in doubt about the suitability or roadworthiness of your cycle, there are a number of cycle shops in Haringey that can assist you.

They are qualified mechanics, first aiders, and cycling instructors.Ride leaders are responsible for planning the route and directions during the ride.Our ride leaders are supported by several marshals who help keep the group together and help the group pass through junctions.
