Today the fabulous Bike to Bestival riders set off on their adventure cycling just over 100 miles south towards Bestival, taking in the beautiful Somerset levels and the epic Jurassic coast along their way.

These awesome riders have absolutely smashed it with the fundraising, raising nearly £3,500 for our Earn-a-Bike programmes. That’s a LOT of bikes finding new homes with people who really need them. And it’s not too late to donate either! If you want to support their impressive efforts, head over to the Bike to Bestival page to donate.

As we speak the group are giving their bikes the final once over and topping up their waters, making sure they’re all saddled up and ready to go. You can follow their progress on our Instagram Facebook and Twitter pages.

A big well done and thank you from everyone at The Bristol Bike Project to each and every one of these riders for helping us to get more and more people across Bristol out on two wheels. Let’s all wish them some happy tailwinds ?
