Over 3,000 cyclists raised over £2 million for hundreds of charities last weekend
as they rode through the streets of London at night.

The fifth annual Nightrider took the cyclists on a 100km tour past London’s major
sights. They started at Alexandra Palace in north London and Crystal Palace in the
south, and followed a circular route through the city.

Each cyclist was raising funds for their favourite charity.
