This Saturday (9th June), the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Bikeminded campaign is running an exciting magical musical mystery tour of the Borough.
From the music that has graced the royal palaces of William III to punk bands that used to make their male fans wear skirts to their gigs, and taking in the legendary hang-outs of hippie and rock stars of the 60s, punks and reggae artists of the 70s, synth pop-stars of the 80s and contemporary musicians of today, the tour will showcase some of the key locations of a borough that is home to the richest musical history in London.
There’s also a treat for the avid cyclist as the tour group will be racing up the hors category climb of Col du Ladbroke Grove, charging across the cobbles of Kensington and cycling through some of the beautiful streets and parks of the borough too! But do not fear: the tour is designed and paced with those new to cycling in mind, so turn up with your own two wheels or pick up a 'Boris' bike at a docking station near you! There will be four tours on the following dates:
Saturday 9th June – public tours
11:00-13:00 and 14:00-16:00
Saturday 7th July – public tours
11:00-13:00 and 14:00-16:00
