Santas BMX Life Charity Ride

London. Sat 14 Dec 2019



 Santas and Elved met in the graffiti tunnel at Leake St, under Waterloo Station

 A man with two reindeers on his bike

 and another bike has fairly lights and a Santa on the handlebars

 Numbers rose as the time to leave approached

 Santa's Little Helper

 

 

 

 

 

 'Merry Christmas'

 

 A Santa with lit up shoes

 And one man gets a dressing down for not following the Santa dress code, though he is wearing a Christmas jumper

 By the time the ride was due to start the tunnel was pretty full and there were more at the back on the Taxi Road

 Santas line up ready to start

 and after a long wait they are off

 They kept on coming

 and more

 But the first stage of the ride was very short - just across the road to Forum Magnum Square

 Where they lined up around all four sides leaving an arena in the centre

 

 

 

 where riders could demonstrate their skills

 doing things on bikes they were not designed for

 

 Feet up on the bar and no hands


I left to go to a protest in Parliament Square while the display was continuing, They were then going to ride around
Central London for several hours, and I hoped to see them again, but didn't manage to do so.
