Hackney Cycling Conference
Sharing Success, Inspiring Change across London
Friday June 8, Stoke Newington Town Hall
What is the way forward for cycling in London? Should we be looking to
Amsterdam or Copenhagen or are there other home-grown solutions? Why has
cycling grown so far and so fast in some parts of London like Hackney. What
lessons have we learnt and how can we inspire change across the capital?
