On 30 June, 1 & 2 July 2006 people around the UK will be organising and taking part in bike rides for the NSPCC Big Bike Ride fundraising event.

Lorna Fraser, NSPCC Communications Officer said; �It really doesn't matter if you are two or 102, the Big Bike Ride is fun for everyone. Rides can be as simple as a circuit around the local park or cycle track, or for those with a bit more energy, a ride across the whole of South West London! This event is even suitable for people who don't have a bike � you could simply contact your local gym and ask if you can use their exercise bike to clock up the miles � as long as you're on a bike, you'll be on the Big Bike Ride .�

The NSPCC has teamed up with organisations like the National Cycle Network and the Forestry Commission to allow access to thousands of miles of urban and rural traffic-free and traffic-calmed cycle routes to help ensure a safe and fun bike ride.

Anyone interested in organising an event for the Big Bike Ride can get a free Event Pack by logging on to www.nspcc.org.uk/bigbikeride or calling 0845 456 0001.
