Mobile Shop at International Women’s Day
Xanthe, Emily and I had a great day at the London Cycling Campaign’s ride for International Women’s Day on Sunday. The sun was shining and we had hot chocolate and brandy from the Shortwave Cinema to keep us warm as we pedaled our mobile shop (a Christiana bike loaned from Velorution) down to Bermondsey Square.
Thanks to everyone who came and supported us by purchasing items on the day. We also had the pleasure of making friends with the lovely Annabelle from mobile bicycle maintenance company Cycldelik and Katie who we have to thank for the picture above!

“RECLAIM THE ROAD”
On March 7, 2010 LCC ‘Reclaim the Road’ ride to mark International Women’s Day
Now an annual event, our women’s bike ride is female-focused, but not exclusively for women, taking riders around some of London’s best routes, encompassing landmarks which have particular significance to women’s rights and empowerment. Celebrating the great diversity of female cyclists in our capital and encouraging those who don’t already cycle, this event will focus on the independence and empowerment that cycling can provide to all women, particularly to those from backgrounds that wouldn’t ordinarily advocate such modes of transport. With over 5,000 participants in LCC rides annually, we continually strive to boost numbers of female cyclists; it is great for women’s health, fitness, well-being, fun and freedom. We want to encourage women to give it a try and see what they can achieve!
The ride starts at the Shortwave Cinema in Bermondsey Square @ 2PM and follows a route mostly South of the river incorporating existing bike routes, London parks, bridges across the Thames and a surprising array of South London places of interest. We’ll be finishing up at the Shortwave Cinema in Bermondsey Square, where there will be nibbles and entertainment.
We will be documenting the ride through video footage and a post-ride podcast.

LCC get ‘Birds on Bikes’ for International Women’s Day
Last nights ‘Birds on Bikes Ride’ organised by the LCC followed a 10 mile circular route starting from Dragons Court in Covent Garden stopping at locations of specific importance to women in London’s history – we never knew that Waterloo Bridge was mainly built by women! The ride was great fun and we really enjoyed meeting so many new women there. Thanks to Alison and Lucy at the LCC for letting us get involved – we can’t wait until next years! See our flickr page for a few snapshots of the night.
