The Big Red Bike Ride, 27th June 1988 - A Journey of Unity and Determination
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Teesside Archive, we are transported back to the summer of 1988, where a remarkable event unfolded on the streets of Middlesbrough. The image captures the essence of camaraderie and community spirit as cyclists gear up for an epic adventure. The Big Red Bike Ride was not just another race; it was a 16-day sponsored event that aimed to raise funds for charities across England and Wales. On this particular day, the Mayor of Middlesbrough, Councillor Bryan Lonsbrough, took center stage as he waved off these courageous riders on their challenging journey. As spectators lined the streets with excitement and anticipation, one could feel the energy pulsating through the air. It was a momentous occasion that brought together people from all walks of life – locals cheering alongside politicians in support of a common cause. This photograph encapsulates an era when cycling became more than just a sport; it became a platform for fundraising and political engagement. The riders' determination is palpable as they embark on this arduous yet rewarding adventure through picturesque landscapes and bustling towns. Decades may have passed since that memorable day in June 1988, but this image serves as a timeless reminder of unity in action. It reminds us how communities can come together to make lasting change happen while showcasing our shared history and heritage.
