Bike Week runs from the 11th to the 19th June. HarBUG is running two events on Wednesday 15th June; Cycle to Work Day & The Bicycle Repair Man.
We need ride leaders for the escorted rides on the Cycle to Work Day, so if you can help out it would be much appreciated. Please contact me at chair@harbug.org.uk.
We have posters for each event, so please can you print them out and post them on your organisations notice board:

Please support the group rides it is a good time to meet cyclists from the same town and swap tips, route information etc.
