Car manufacturer Peugeot is going back to its roots of bicycle manufacturer by providing
support vehicles for the Royal British Legion ‘Pedal to Paris’ charity bike ride.

One hundred and fifteen years after it produced its first bicycle, Peugeot still
manufactures bicycles, but is better known for its range of motor vehicles.

Peugeot’s Warwick Wright Chiswick dealership is supplying The Royal British Legion
with three 807s and two Boxer vans as ‘support’ vehicles for the cahrity bike ride
which departed from Greenwich Park in London this morning.

The vehicles are carrying equipment including spare bicycles, tools, and food, water
and first aid kits. The 807s will also be acting as lead vehicles to transport crew
members ahead of the cyclists to set up drinks stations and arrange accommodation.

This is the 10th anniversary of the Legion’s four-day, 277 mile long charity bicycle
ride, during which time it has raised over £2.5 million. Two hundred and seventy
supporters are participating, and are expected to raise over £250,000.
