Free bike checks in London!
Barclays and Bikeworks will hold a series of free roadside bike clinics over the next two months in London! Why is that? They conducted a survey and found out that three out of five cyclists are riding bikes that aren’t safe to ride at all (like, no lights, flat tyres, no breaks and so on..). That’s why they decided to provide free bike checks to all in various places across the capital weekdays and weekends until the end of September 2013 so you will definitely have a chance to fix your ride!
