Floral Bicycle Parade

Give your bike some flower power and join in the floral bicycle parade around the Southbank Centre! Bring along bicycles, trikes, scooters, prams, buggies, unicycles, helmets and clothing decorated with flowers, plants, vegetables, mascots and handmade banners and decorations. Be as wild and wacky as you like with your ideas and use recycled materials and homegrown plants. Come in fancy dress or decorate your outfits and bicycle helmets.

Barclays Cycle Hire bikes are also available to hire for use during the floral bicycle parade. Standard charges apply. See www.tfl.gov.uk/barclayscyclehire for details.
