“We call on the greater Johannesburg to also go beyond and come and pedal to change lives; we have seen the amazing benefit that both organisations are able offer to the people they serve as a result of this event and we hope that businesses, friends and families join us in spending the day making a difference.”
Also set to take part in the charitable event is well-known paracyclist and professional spinning instructor, Irish Matcheke, who will help lead the sessions on the day. Each spinning session will be an hour long and members of the public are welcome to do as many sessions as they like.
