Tour of Britain London Tour Ride Event: Introduced by John Neate CEO, The Prostate Cancer Charity

John Neate, Chief Executive of The Prostate Cancer Charity, comments - "The London Tour Ride was an amazing success, which really captured the essence of Unite by Cycling. We were supported by a host of celebrities from the worlds of sport, film and TV. The sun was shining and supporters came out in force to get on their bikes and create a lively carnival atmosphere."

Celebrities, pro riders and hundreds of charity fundraisers got on their bikes in central London on September 19th to pedal The Prostate Cancer Charity London Tour Ride which followed the exact route of the final leg of The Tour of Britain.

The ride started at 10am with all participants riding two laps of the official London stage of the Tour of Britain. The girls led the way including Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, model Emma B, and Miss England Rachel Christie, quickly followed by Damian Lewis and The Bills Ben Richards. Also taking part were Olympians Jeanette Kwakye and Daley Thompson, Eastenders legend Rudolf Walker, and former Charlton Athletic striker turned pundit Mark Bright.

Thousands of spectators lined the banks of The Thames as people from all over the country came to the Capital on two wheels in support of Unite ByCycling, the Charitys fundraising initiative that has already raised more than £150,000.
