Do you think that cycling should be for *everyone* in London? Come and join us! This ride – for all who identify as women or non-binary and their allies – is both a celebration and a call to action. Today, less than a third of London’s bike journeys are by women. LCC is holding this ride to call for a London where everyone can cycle, along with our briliant partners Joy Riders and Londra Bisiklet Kulübü. To book a place register here: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lcc-womens-freedom-ride-tickets-489439947057 Marshall’s needed – Marshal Training In preparation for the ride, which currently has circa 500 people attending, we have a couple of training sessions. These are not compulsory but are for people who would like to know more about being a marshal and the skills, risk assessments, communication techniques used by the ride leader to keep the ride fun, social and safe. There is a short classroom session followed by a practical session on the road. The first session is in Enfield on the 11th February, the second is in Clerkenwell on the 26th February. Following the session on the 26th, there is also a pre-ride recce of the route we will use on the day. Although we don’t need every marshall to attend this session, it’s important as many marshals as possible are able to take part so the ride leader can explain how they want the marshals to work on the day, different roles at different junctions etc. Please share this with any interested marshals. Register at the links below. There are only limited places on the two training sessions.  11th Feb, 10:45-13:30, Enfield https://lcc.org.uk/default-events/ride-marshal-enfield/ 26th Feb, 10:00-12:30, Clerkenwell https://lcc.org.uk/default-events/ride-marshal-course-clerkenwell/ 26th Feb pre-ride recce starting at Marble Arch, meet at 12:50 for 1pm start https://lcc.org.uk/default-events/pre-ride-recce/
