CHARITY fundraisers took to the streets of the North-East at the weekend on a 16-seater bicycle.

Four teams of 16 fundraisers took on the challenge to boost funds at Teesside Hospice.

The bike ride took approximately one hour to complete, with teams cycling from Middlesbrough’s Transporter Bridge to Albert Park, and back.

Emma Collins, fundraiser at Teesside Hospice, said: “This is a new event for Middlesbrough and for Teesside Hospice and it’s proved to be very popular.”
