The Cycle Pit Stop takes place next Thursday in London Fields

Cyclists will be given an insight into what it’s like to be a HGV driver to help them understand how to cycle safely and confidently around large vehicles at Hackney’s first Cycle Pit Stop next Thursday.

A partnership between the police and council, cyclists can get a free, on-the-spot bike health check and free bike marking at the event in London Fields, as well as practical support and information about how to cycle safely all year round.

The event takes place on Thursday January 19 from 4pm to 7pm in Martello Street.
