The London Festival of Architecture 2008 is putting on 14 cycle tours across London from 20th June - 20th July.
The rides range from 5-35km and take place on weekday evenings and at weekends. They offer a fantastic insight into new parts of the city and a way of learning about its history, culture and hidden secrets.
They will be led by some of Britain’s most outspoken figures in architecture, from Observer architecture critic Stephen Bayley to curator of the recent Tate Modern Global Cities exhibition Professor Richard Burdett, plus high profile cyclists including Emily Thornbury MP and commentator and housing designer Wayne Hemingway.
The rides will stop off at buildings and urban spaces (from the Great Freshway, a proposal for a grand cycle superhighway across London, to the Mayor’s 100 Public Spaces for London) and explore the political themes behind some of London’s most famous landmarks, from Trafalgar Square to Speakers’ Corner.
if anyone would like more info or to book tickets, have a look at www.lfa2008.org or PM me.
Thanks!

what please are the rides' policies on a) helmet wearing and b) red lights?

You don't have to wear helmets, most people do though (and would be advisable as London traffic and pedestrians are often pretty useless at noticing cyclists) but we will have marshalls on each ride making sure no one gets left behind, so no jumping red lights ... or cycling on pavements ... etc etc!0
