This Sunday - a chance to try out some bikes away from the road

Bikes (and trikes) come in all sorts of shapes and sizes - and then there are cargo bikes, bikes for people with disabilities and electric bikes. But you don't often get a chance to try them out, especially the more unusual ones.

At recent Palmers Green Festivals the Try-a-Bike section in the netball courts has attracted many people. This year Try-a-Bike is returning, on Sunday 19th September. The netball courts in Broomfield Park have recentlyl been resurfaced - a costly (and very slow) business, and the council are concerned that riding bikes might damage them. So Try-a-Bike will this year be in the tennis courts at Hazelwood Recreation Ground in Palmers Green, which you can access from Hedge Lane, Park Avenue, Connaught Gardens or Lynbridge Gardens. There'll be all sorts of bikes for kids and adults (no penny farthings though).
