I am fairly new to cycling seriously, although I have been riding since the seventies on my Raleigh Budgie. It started for me in 2005 when I rode the Wishpedlars Event for Make-A-Wish in the UK.
Two years later I did London to Paris for Action Medical Research.
This lense is for anyone thinking about cycling for charity who has no (or little) previous experience.
