Boris lead The Cultural Olympiad which meant all kinds of art and events all over London, including the BMW Art Cars.

 

Since 1975 BMW have, from time to time, commissioned an artist to paint a car which then races at Le Mans.  David Hockney, Ken Donne and Andy Warhol included.  This was the first time they had all been exhibited in one place and the venue was an empty multi-storey car park in Shoreditch.  We cycled there through parks, quiet streets and not at all quiet streets.  Our first experience of cycling in London.  We survived.
