Are you interested in cycling? A local project called ‘Wheels of Time’ is starting to research and celebrate the heritage of cycling in Kingston and they need your help.
From John ‘Happy Jack’ Keen to Eileen Gray CBE, from Carpenters Cycles to the Ripley Run, Kingston has played an important part in the history of UK cycling.
The Royal Borough of Kingston's Cycle Team are holding another of their ever popular Bike Maintenance Courses on Saturday September 23rd. The course will run at a local venue from 9:00 - 13:00.
This course is hands on and you are encouraged to bring and work on your own bike. It's a great introduction to basic bike maintenance and can really help you save on costly repair bills. If you are interested then you can find the booking form here
The Council’s Cycle Training Team will be running free summer holiday cycle training following courses throughout the summer break, with venues in Chessington, Kingston, New Malden and Surbiton.
The Kids’ Bike Camp will be running again during the coming Summer Holiday. This is a great opportunity for children to learn how to ride their bikes in a fun and safe environment and for those who can already ride, to improve their cycling skills and knowledge.
RBK have partnered with Bike Citizens to distribute their cycle navigation app and universal smartphone handlebar mount for FREE. The mount, known as a Finn comes with a code that allows you to download the local area map, covering the whole of the Greater London Area. To get your FREE Finn, just email: info@cyclekingston.net
