The [[London Friday Night Skate]] is a ten to fifteen mile street skate around London, every Friday (hence the name). We do a different route every week - one week we might take in famous central London roads and sights, another week we'll head for some long fast downhills in Camden or Putney, or even a trip to the countryside out at Barnes. The roads are blocked as the skate passes by our expertly co-ordinated volunteer marshals (on skates), and we even have our own portable sound system on a bicycle

The LFNS is not a protest! We're nothing to do with any political organisation, we're not environmental protesters, and we're not Critical Mass. We're faster than Critical Mass.

The same team of volunteers behind the LFNS also run its little sister the [[Sunday Stroll]] - a sedate 5-7 mile skate around town on a Sunday afternoon suitable for most skaters who can stop/turn/cope with hills.
