CYCLISTS have the chance to do an 11-mile ride being held during national Bike Week.

Bromley Cyclists, a branch of the London Cycling Campaign, says the route of the Bromley Parks and Ride avoids busy main roads.

It will begin at Priory Gardens Park in Orpington, wind through Jubilee Country Park in Petts Wood and Beckenham Place Park before finishing in Crystal Palace Park.

The event starts at 11am on June 22.

Bromley Cyclists co-ordinator Charles Potter said: "It's a ride for all ages, at a leisurely pace. You could say it is a statement of why I like living in London's greenest borough."

Bike Week, which is held to get more people cycling, runs from June 14 to June 22.

The London Cycling Campaign is a charitable organisation which aims to increase cycling in the capital.
