NINE rabbis are preparing to take part in a bike ride starting in Edgware to promote green living.

JewCycle is being led by United Synagogue rabbis to highlight the need for sustainable living in the community a day before the Copenhagen Climate Conference next Sunday, December 6.

The event has been organised by Rabbi Natan Levy of the Shenley synagogue, starting at Edgware synagogue in Watford Way and taking a leisurely nine mile route to Radlett synagogue.

Raymond Raven, who is supplying electric bikes to some of the rabbis to help them complete the course, said: “They really want to show just how easy it is for people to help the environment.”

The ride is open to the community and anyone interested in attending can contact Rabbi Levy on nzlevy@gmail.com. Spare bikes are available on a first come first served basis.
