Safety: Please read health and safety info found in menu bar above.
Theme: No theme this year but the 4m long ICECycles banner trailer will be the focal point.
Any Biking Vikings should wear appropriate helmet. But it is not compulsory. If you want to just decorate your bike that's fine.
Decorations: You can raid your Christmas tree for tinsel or the neighbour's garden for flowers to adorn you and/or your bikes. We have some paper flowers, tinsel and ribbons if you're a bit short. Plus we have a few Viking helmets to borrow and maybe the odd teddy bear for your basket!
