Cyclists set to complete journey in memory of Jo Cox

A group of more than 100 cyclists - riding in memory of murdered West Yorkshire MP Jo Cox - are set to arrive in Westminster today.

The Jo Cox Way team set off from Cleckheaton earlier this week - its the 10th year they've held the ride, which celebrates the fact we have 'more in common'.

They left just after 9.30am on Wednesday to cheers from crowds, including Ms Leadbeater, now the MP for Spen Valley.

She said: "Jo was a passionate campaigner for gender equality so it's wonderful to see nearly 60 women riding this year and showing that cycling really is for everyone.

"It's a tough challenge but a brilliant five days - everything Jo would have loved.

"It's also a great way to meet people from different walks of life and to celebrate that we have 'more in common', as Jo said in her maiden speech in Parliament 10 years ago.

"Cycling has so many physical and mental health benefits and also helps combat loneliness and isolation, causes which Jo cared about deeply.
