London Assembly Member and Islington Councillor Caroline Russell will talk about her report for the London Assembly Transport Committee which is to be published on 4th Dec. The report looks at how the Mayor can tackle main roads that are hostile for walking and cycling and make them into healthy places where it is a pleasure to get around on foot and by bike.

November 2017 Meeting

Thursday 30th November: Monthly Meeting – Best Cycling Books

After business and coffee (and maybe a mince pie as this is our last meeting before Christmas) we would like to hear about everyone’s favourite cycling books. What have you read that you have enjoyed? Inspired you? Enticed you to go cycling somewhere?

Bring them along to ‘show-and-tell’. Even read out a paragraph or two? We can then compile a list of the recommendations for Santa to bring to all good little Barnet Cyclists for Christmas. All welcome.

Meet: 8pm Carey Hall, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley
N12
