LB is a true biking community in the fullest sense of the phrase. Each member is free to give their own input, ideas and
experience to the community, The idea behind this community is to share experiences with other like-minded people and to help and
support each other find a “biking” way through life. This can be reflected in common interests, advice, support, information,
photos, videos, suggestions and, of course humour.
Londonbikers is a community dedicated to bikers of all standards and preferences. It works by the involvement and participation
of its membership. With this comes the responsibility to promote better riding (of any nature) and the distribution of
information to the general membership by way of personal experience.
With the freedom of biking also comes the freedom of speech, way of life and ideas. Londonbikers is non-restrictive in its
membership and does not discriminate between race, creed or political/philosophical ideals – it is purely a vehicle for members
to communicate and participate, and above all to be supportive of each other.
Londonbikers is fairly unique in its approach, and relies heavily on the responsibility of its membership to be open to all its
members comments and to show respect for fellow members.
Londonbikers would like to make the following suggestions to its members in order that it continues to be such a useful and fun
community. These are only suggestions – not “rules” - and are open to comment and change by consensus of its membership at any
time. Suggestions are there for a purpose - so that we can keep our community unique, open and special.
