A gold medal winning Olympic cyclist, known for his achievements in the men’s individual pursuit cycling at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, has embarked on an eight-day bike ride from Manchester to Paris. The purpose of this challenge, named Pedal for Paris, is to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change.
The cyclist began his journey on July 16 from Manchester and is expected to cover a total of 550 miles, passing through locations such as Loughborough, Milton Keynes, and Dieppe before reaching Paris on July 23. Along the way, he will be joined by various personalities and athletes, including former England rugby players and a champion athlete.
