Strictly Night Cycling

Posted on May 3, 2022 by Karen

A night-time version of Strictly Cycling, with yellow cycling capes glowing like belisha beacons, wheels, fingers & toes ablaze.  An entertaining street show, combined with a light-hearted, road safety, message to ‘light up & be seen on bikes after dark.

5 bikes, glowing orange with red stripes, lie in a flower shape in the foreground, front tyres together. In the background, 5 performers in glowing yellow capes, mimic the flower shape, with their heads together
