Make Your Own Cycle Lane

Ever cycled down a dark road and wished it was illuminated a bit more? Well now you can while protecting the very head that had this thought. 

Someone kindly sent us details of the Xfire LED head light system which is already up for order. We haven't tested this yet but watch for our review of it here once we receive one. It is also advisable to check if it's street legal in the UK.

Goodbye 2012

This post is to say a simple THANK YOU to everyone who has visited and supported this blog and events associated with Harrow's It's Up to All of Us campaign.

With the Olympics bringing some sporty excitement to London in 2012, it's been a great year. We couldn't have our annual cycling roadshow at Under One Sky due to the demands of the Olympics but we'll be there next year with details being announced in due course. Despite not having a huge roadshow we're proud to have had many mini-events and information stands as well as Dr Bikes at community events and schools. We're extremely pleased with the feedback many have given to our interactive video which launched just before the Olympics and the people we've seen on the many walks taking place in Harrow.

Now that it's the end of the year, enjoy some mince pies and be sure to walk them off or get on a bike during the Christmas break, or just after. A new year always brings the opportunity to implement a new healthy travelling plan into your lifestyle that may even save you money on a gym membership and travel costs. 

Have a fantastic break, thank you for the support in 2012 and we'll be back here in January.

And one last thing: whether you walk, cycle, recycle, car share, take a bus, train, shop local or drive an electric car - you're a big part of what makes this community one of the best in London. Thank you. It's Up to All of Us!
