RideLondon: thousands take part in mass cycling event after two-year absence

29-May-2022 16:10:28 | The Guardian

This year’s event saw much greater participation by women, disabled people and ethnic minorities after a concerted drive by organisers

The mass cycling event billed as the London Marathon on two wheels has returned after a Covid-enforced hiatus – with a new destination and, organisers say, a field of riders notably and deliberately more diverse than in previous years.

RideLondon, launched in 2013 as a weekend of cycling events covering both elite sport and mass participation, has proved hugely popular, but was cancelled in 2020 and last year due to the pandemic.
