We want to wish and his penny farthing good luck on their next help for heroes fundraiser. He's a face you may recognise at a few of our events (looking at you, Mallory Mile!) and his pedal power has helped raise a pretty penny or two over the years.

And if you need expert local cycling advice (no matter the size of the wheel), pop down to our friends at B Page & Son - Cycles and Accessories who can help you out

No it’s not an illusion, that is a penny farthing wheel! 😳 Pleased that we’ve been able to help towards getting Dean’s high wheeler back on the road again ready for his upcoming adventure to the Somme 😃
If anyone wishes to follow his adventures and even contribute to his fundraising for ‘Help for Heroes’ you can find his details on Instagram 👍🙌
