The roads of Tooting with be taken over by a myriad of people-powered contraptions as part of the Tour De Tooting on Sunday, July 3.

Kicking off at 2pm, the parade puts its own spin on the group cycle with a focus on fun and inventiveness.

The event, which promotes well-being, health and greener streets, will have riders propelling decorative buggies, trolleys, scooters, wheelchairs, rickshaws, penny farthings, tandems, bicycles and wheelbarrows through a mile long route.

Event organiser and co-founder of Transition Town Tooting (TTT), Lucy Neal said: "The Tour de Tooting creates opportunities to have fun with people of all ages and across all cultures to celebrate wheels of all sizes and uses.

"Combined with social connection, physical activity is increasingly recognised as a source not just of our health and happiness, but of a greener, safer, lower carbon world.

"Together, we can reinvent The Wheel.”

The parade will follow a route from Franciscan Road down Totterdown Street across Upper Tooting Road to Broadwater Road, Fishponds Road, Hebdon Road and into Fishponds Field, where the event will wind down with a ‘sharing picnic’.
