More than 14,000 cyclists completed the iconic London to Brighton Bike Ride on Sunday, pedalling 54 miles in support of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and other leading UK charities.
Riders departed from Clapham Common in London between 6:00am and 9:30am, making their way to the finish line on Madeira Drive in Brighton throughout the afternoon. The event, now in its 47th year, remains a pillar of the UK’s fundraising calendar, generating millions of pounds annually for research into heart and circulatory diseases.
