All tools provided but bring your own also if you can. Just turn up with your bike September 2002
Wednesday 18Homerton Hospital BUG breakfast
The new BUG (bicycle user group) at Homerton Hospital is going to give itself - and cycling in the health service - a bit of profile by
running a cyclists' breakfast on this day, which happens to be European Day of Cycling, part of European Mobility Week. It also, happily, coincides with a London-wide joint LCC/TfL promotion of cycling to users and providers of health services, led with an event in Newham. For more information contact Brian Leveson.
Sunday 22Car Free Day (AKA In Town Without My Car) Car Free Day will take place on Mare Street this year, strongly supported by the Council. To show the commitment to sustainable mobility as a whole, buses will be allowed to carry on through as usual, and one of them will be driven by none other than former bus driver and current vice-chair of Transport for London Dave Wetzel. There will also be cycle training and Dr Bike on offer, plus various entertainments to be confirmed. Let's hope the weather is as good as it was on 22 September 2001 in Curtain Road. If you'd like to help with Car Free Day, either preparing for the event or on the day, please email us. (In case anyone is worried that such frivolous activity as the promotion of sustainable transport will detract from Hackney's hard-pressed general coffers, you can reassure yourself that the event will be paid for using funds made available to all London boroughs by Transport for London for this purpose and this purpose only).
