This Sunday, 5 September Velorution will be at the London Sky Ride with the  Danish Embassy, our line of children’s bikes, and our famous Christianias.

There will be a Children’s cycling workshop organized by the Danish Embassy and, most importantly, an organized Christiania ride.

The Christiania ride will be led by some of Velorution’s most eager and helpful Christiania Agents (local Christiania reps in many London neighbourhoods) taking place around St James’s Park at 2pm.  Participants, on their Christianias, are encouraged to show up by around 1:30 to 1:45 at the Danish Embassy location at the London Cycling Zone, in St James’s Park, located on the tarmac in front of Clarence House.

The idea of the Christiania ride is not simply just advertising of how many of us happy Christiania users are out there, but also an opportunity for us to meet and chat with (and of course cycle with) each other.  There will be some snacks at the Danish Embassy meeting point and cycling games for kids to take part in (so please feel free to come earlier) while Christiania parents can meet others and exchange Christiania stories and tips.

We suggest all Christiania riders who’d like to take place register their interest on the Sky Ride website to ensure entry and avoid disappointment on the day ( https://www.goskyride.com/login.aspx).  You can also find more info on the Danish Embassy website at this link:http://www.amblondon.um.dk/en/menu/TheEmbassy/News/ChildrensWorkshop.htm.

Please also feel free to email Julia or Monika at Velorution with any questions at info@velorution.biz.

We look forward to seeing many of you on the day!

Don’t forget that this Sunday, 5 September Velorution will be at the London Sky Ride with the  Danish Embassy, our line of children’s bikes, and our famous Christianias.

There will be a Children’s cycling workshop organized by the Danish Embassy — Denmark being a country where most kids learn to cycle almost as soon as they learn to walk.  There will be plenty of cycling games and teaching activities to keep kids busy and happy.  This part of the event will take place in the London Cycling Zone in St James’s Park, on the tarmac in front of Clarence House. Velorution will be supplying “practice bikes” for kids to try and participate in the games with.  Kids are also encouraged to bring their own bikes to the event so that they can learn better cycling skills from well-informed instructors on a bike they can then cycle on regularly.  Though Velorution will not be selling any bikes at the event, children will have a chance to try out a large number of our top-end children’s bikes for future use.

There will also be an organized Christiania ride led by some of Velorution’s most eager and helpful Christiania Agents (local Christiania reps in many London neighbourhoods) taking place around St James’s Park at 2pm.  Participants, on their Christianias, are encouraged to show up by around 1:30 to 1:45 at the location where the Danish Embassy will be holding their event.  The idea of the Christiania ride is not simply just advertising of how many of us happy Christiania users are out there, but also an opportunity for us to meet and chat with (and of course cycle with) each other.  There will be some snacks at the Danish Embassy meeting point and cycling games for kids to take part in (so please feel free to come earlier) while Christiania parents can meet others and exchange Christiania stories and tips.

We encourage all Christiania parents and parents with kids who’d like to improve (or begin) their cycling to take part. There is absolutely NO CHARGE for this event, but all participants are encouraged to register their interest on the Sky Ride website to ensure entry and avoid disappointment on the day.  Please register your details on https://www.goskyride.com/login.aspx .  You can also find more info on the Danish Embassy website at this link:http://www.amblondon.um.dk/en/menu/TheEmbassy/News/ChildrensWorkshop.htm.

We look forward to seeing many of you on the day!
