Having been moved last year, the final stage of the Tour of Britain will be in London again this year on 18 September. Successful circuits took place in 2008 and 2009, but this year’s final day is predicted to be even more popular, falling as it does on a Sunday, and also providing a chance to see some of Britain and the World’s top cyclists in action on the streets of the capital less than a year before the Olympic Games.
London's True Colours:
a film for the London Cycle Map Campaign
London's True Colours (above) is a new film showing what the London Cycle Map Campaign is all about. It was animated by Stuart France.
Our campaign and associated petition promises to change the capital forever, by giving more people the confidence to cycle and to do so in safety.
The big idea is to create a single London Cycle Map that’s clear and easy to use and corresponds to a unified network of signed cycle routes throughout Greater London: the cycling equivalent of the London Underground Map.
Take a look at Simon Parker's fantastic London Cycle Map design here (as drawn by KOLB), and find out more about the London Cycle Map Campaign here.
