Pedal Power Disco – Southbank Centre
Those worried they’ll get sick of gorging on Easter chocolate can put their foot to the pedal at a bicycle-powered disco at the Southbank Centre this Saturday.
Static bikes will be hooked up to the sound system, so leg power will be converted into funky disco grooves. But when the pedalling stops, so does the fun.
With no batteries, it’s all motion-powered so be prepared to break a sweat!
This will be taking place on Saturday 16 April at 11.30am and 2.30pm at the Riverside Terrace, Level 2, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 8XX.
