The third annual cyclists and walkers breakfast has taken place at UCL on Sept 21-2004

With the generous sponsorships of the London Borough of Camden, 8 UCL departments have been able to challenge each other on whose staff and graduate students could accumulate more miles travelled either by bicycle or on foot (a new addition of this year event) to UCL (Gower Street). As an incentive, the miles of those who do not usually cycle or walk to UCL their miles were doubled.

UCL provost Prof. Malcolm Grant was one of the first to arrive (on foot, but regularly cycles in London!) and in total 66 people participated and enjoyed the free croissants coffee and juice.
