Local residents came together to take part in a community cycle ride on Sunday. Haringey Cycling Campaign organised the event to encourage safer cycling in the borough.
It is hoped the cycle ride will inspire more locals to cycle and help highlight the need for greater safety measures.
The cycle event comes days after a new interactive map was published by the London Cycling Campaign. The map reveals London’s most dangerous junctions for walking and cycling, which users can find by searching each borough.
