IslaBikes Fun Day.jpgIslabikes Family Fun Day this weekend
Children’s bikes brand Islabikes are running a Family Activity Day on Saturday 26 March – that’s this Saturday – at its premises in Ludlow, Shropshire.
Children will get the chance to learn to ride with help from experts, develop new skills at kids’ coaching sessions – they can borrow an Islabike if they don’t already have one – and try out bikes for size on a test track.
Families can ride together on a new waymarked explorer trail (hire bikes will be available), and there’s plenty more going on too including entertainment from a unicycling clown and a cycle stunt show.
The Islabikes shop will be open from 9am to 5pm and activities will start from 10am.
Get all the details, including the exact location, from the Islabikes website.

Good stuff. Now do it on cycleway C9 through Hammersmith to Chiswick.
It's technically allowed but it's not known as "London's Orbital Car Park" for nothing.
You're defending bombing hospitals and refugee camps and starving children.

I don't know if they're any better, but they's certainly become more boring.
At risk of being cynical, and stereotyping the police, it's so they don't have to leave the comfort of their panda cars and pursue on foot when...
But now you don't have to. Allegedly.
Since Kona's rebirth after they kept the stinky for waaaay too long they have been one of the most consistently desireable mountain bike brands. If...
