We recently spent the day with each of them to discover more about their relationship with riding.
“I love cycling. I started riding because of lockdown. First I rode the journey to work, then I started clocking it, and then I got addicted.”
- Ore
“The de-stress I get from my 20-minute commute has made all the difference. It gives me moments of calm after a busy day, and I’m going to continue for as long as I can.”
- Lucy
“It’s actually made me happier. The other day I went for a ride with my boss – It was a great start to the day, and on that particular day, made my life better.”
- Ore
“My bike was stolen just before lockdown. I got it back, and it inspired me to start Tour de Thanks – a cycling initiative that helps NHS and essential workers get back on two wheels so they can ride to work.”
- Lucy
