A two-wheeled protest for safer cycling across the city has been postponed until after the Queen’s funeral. The Big Ride for Safer Cycling was due to take place on Saturday 17 September, two days before the late monarch is laid to rest.
But the family-friendly event – which is expected to attract hundreds of cyclists, and will finish with a picnic at College Green – will now take place on Sunday 2 October, starting at the slightly later time of 12pm.
Setting off from Brunswick Square, riders will head north towards The Arches before turning around and going south via The Bearpit, finishing at College Green. The family-friendly event will be “a celebration of cycling, but with a serious message about cycling safety”, organisers say.
