Contributions time 2020

These are exceptional times for all of us. Given the current push by the government to increase cycling we are stepping up our campaigning to get the cycling infrastructure Barnet so badly needs. We want Barnet Cyclists to survive to do this and in the future to provide you with the rides and meetings we all used to enjoy. Also in the meantime we want to maintain our website.

For this we would like your help – if you feel able to please make your annual contribution of £10 or £4 if you are a full LCC member, by direct transfer to: Unity Trust Bank, account; London Cycling Campaign Barnet Branch, sort code; 608301, account; 20225687, and vitally important give your name as the payment reference. Failing that a cheque made out as above and posted to: Treasurer, Barnet Cyclists, 38 Glenwood Rd. NW74LJ.

Thank you,

peter R. Treasurer.

Barnet Cyclists’ events

In the light of official guidelines concerning Covid-19, and the emphasis they have put on social distancing, it is necessary for us to cancel events in the near future.

We are cancelling rides and indoor meetings from immediate effect until further notice. Once it is safe, we will post details of rides and events on this website.

Sensible cycling on your own is still possible – even desirable!

Stay safe.

This is a chance to visit the exhibition and/or have a cup of tea. (Admission is free – and it’s a great building to visit).

Then head back to King’s Cross station for trains north – or ride back if feeling energetic.
