A sea of smiling faces and gleaming bikes greeted onlookers on 28 June as hundreds of children cycled around Hackney for Bike Around the Borough 2018.
1073 children and adults from 42 schools took to the borough’s streets by bike as temperatures soared to nearly 30 degrees for the eighth-annual fun-filled celebration of cycling.
The children, who were cycling together in a ‘bike bus’ - where a group of cyclists ride together along a set route, picking up people as they go - started from Hackney Downs, and then made their way to Clissold Park via Clapton, before heading down to London Fields and past Hackney Town Hall back to Hackney Downs.
