For the last couple of years, the Pickwick Bicycle Club has organised this event and are keen to develop it into something similar to the Family Fun Day that was run at Herne Hill. For the future it is hoped to grow the event by organising a (none too serious) race for Crypto-geared and other front driven safeties. If you own such a machines, do please think seriously about coming along with your Bantam, Kangaroo, XtraOrdinary or similar, and join in the celebrations.
