Published: 02 September 2010

This weekend (September 5th) will see the Mayor of London's Sky Ride return to the capital, with cyclists invited along to take part.

People are able to explore the city on two-wheels through traffic-free roads that take them past some of London's most iconic sights.

The 15km route will be clear between 09:30 and 16:30 BST, with Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy and model Kelly Brooke on hand to join in with the fun.

Corin Dimopoulos, Sky's director of cycling, said: "The 2010 Mayor of London's Sky Ride includes even more iconic sights and landmarks than ever before, riding past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on traffic-free streets will be something extra special."

She added that the event hopes to get more people interested in cycling and enjoying it on a more regular basis.

Boris Johnson recently marked the two-year countdown to the 2012 Paralympic Games with an even held in Trafalgar Square.
