THE WHEEL deal rolled into Canary Wharf this morning when a host of cyclists descended on Canada Square to launch the Real Man Cycling Challenge.

The challenge, sponsored by Barclays, takes place on Sunday, September 14, when 2,000 cyclists compete in teams of four over a 35km course starting and finishing at ExCeL London. It will raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Charity and is being held on roads, mainly around Canary Wharf.

Lending his support was Phil Liggett, the familiar voice of cycling over many years of covering the sport on TV. He explained why he was involved.

He said: “I’m an ambassador for the charity. I hope we’ll raise lots of money because they’ve got the corporates involved and they’ve got the influence to get these roads closed. It’s going to be a very interesting concept and I really hope they get big support.”
