Mayor Marie Bradburn, met with former Gold Olympian cyclist who stopped off in Milton Keynes during their mission to raise environmental awareness.
Mayor of Milton Keynes, Marie Bradburn, met with Chris Boardman CBE, former Gold Olympian cyclist, as he stopped off in Milton Keynes on his Pedal to Paris ride to raise environmental awareness.
The Mayor said, “We had a great conversation. I told Chris about what we’re trying to do to get more people cycling here in Milton Keynes and he agreed to connect us with ATE’s regional engagement manager.”
ATE is Active Travel England, the government’s executive agency responsible for making cycling (and walking and wheeling) a preferred travel choice, which Chris leads.
Chris also met Suzanne Moss of Ringway, a member of the Cycling Citizens MK alliance, and pupils of Two Mile Ash who recently won Gold in the final of MK Bikeability Olympics.
Chris then led the riders off on the fourth leg of the Pedal to Paris ride to Bisham Abbey.
Mayor Bradburn rode the first seven miles before turning back to attend scheduled meetings.
