Former TOWIE star Lydia Rose Bright joins Pedal On UK

About

Lydia Rose Bright is encouraging people to get on their bikes for Pedal On UK. The UK-wide cycling tour, organised by Sustrans and backed by the Big Lottery Fund’s Keeping the Spirit 2012 Alive campaign, runs between August 16 and September 7 (2013).

Lydia, the former TOWIE star, says, ‘For me, the only way is cycling! Last year it was so exciting when Team GB pedalled their way to Olympic victory, and now Pedal On UK will make us fall in love with cycling all over again.’ The tour is open to all ages and abilities and takes place in London, Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham, Ripley and Belfast.

Organised by charity Sustrans and backed by the Big Lottery Fund’s Keeping the Spirit of 2012 Alive campaign, Pedal On UK will reignite the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic torch relays as it travels through the country over a three week period.

Starting from the Olympic Park in London, a group of cyclists headed up by volunteers, celebrities and sports stars will take Pedal On UK to over 35 communities using the National Cycle Network.

As the Pedal On UK riders pass through towns and cities they will set in motion a series of local bike rides and stop off at free community festivals in each region.

The celebrations mark the success of extending over 80 new walking and cycling networks into the heart of communities. With over 4 million people living within a mile of these networks, people of all ages and abilities can now get around their communities more easily.

Sustrans is a charity that works with communities, policy-makers and partner organisations so that people can choose healthier, cleaner and cheaper journeys and enjoy better, safer spaces to live in.

Through their work to create better walking and cycling links, including the National Cycle Network, they’re providing the space to make sure sustainable travel is not just a choice: it’s the most obvious and convenient option.

They also provide the information and advice people need to complete their journeys on foot, on two wheels and by public transport.
