A service for cyclists, to bless people and their bikes and celebrate the gift of cycling. The Revd Ivan Khovacs said that many church members are daily cycle commuters, one of whom, midwife Mary Stewart, came up with the idea. He said: “The service is a way to give a blessing and an affirmation of the joy of cycling but acknowledging that cycling in London can be a little bit hairy and frightening at times”
The service began with songs, accompanied by a ukulele orchestra and a trio of banjo, accordion and trumpet. St James’s is part of an association of Eco Churches aiming to reduce their carbon footprints and to protect the environment, and cycling is one way the church contributes to that ethos.
