Lincoln Bike Night is proud to bring you the opening event for the Lincoln Festival of Cycling. An Evening with Mark Beaumont.
During the Summer of 2017, Mark completed his second global circumnavigation. 10 years ago this 18,000 miles World Record took over half a year. This time, inspired by the Jules Verne fiction Mark set out on the Artemis World Cycle to pedal Around The World in 80 Days.
Riding 16 hours and an average of 240 miles every day, Mark raced back into Paris in 78 days 14 hours and 40 minutes, smashing the previous World Record by a staggering 44 days.
Mark will share this inspirational journey with a combination of stories, video and imagery. His journey captured the attention and imagination of a global audience as Mark’s team vlogged and recorded their daily struggle, elation and emotions. Join us at Lincoln Drill Hall and find out what drives Mark to such ecstasies of endurance?
“The fear of failure is massive – it’s scary, hugely intimidating."
"You don’t have to be a bike rider to understand that riding for 16 hours a day for two-and-a-half months is quite a commitment. But how many people in their lives have the opportunity to take on their biggest dreams?” M. Beaumont
Lincoln Bike Night will also be supporting Mark’s charity Orkidstudio with our usual raffle: We’ll have a signed jersey and books amongst other items up for grabs.
9 May 2017 7.30pm Lincoln Drill Hall. Tickets from £12
I think this incident has angered the police, such that this driver will face further sanction. We've created a monster here.
Took my thru axle bike abroad in one. It was a couple of years ago and I can't remember how I did it but you can attach the wheels with skewers...
for me its the lack of sanctions for traffic offences in the first place thats the problem, Mikey wouldnt have to do what he does at all, if people...
The UK has had a few black cycling champions. Not long after Maurice was gaining recognition on the track, Charlie Reynolds, also from South London...
There is little moderation....
Indeed and a thumbs-up. BUT ......
Common sense at last
And tandems...

One way to find out is to put a member of the driver's family on the bike and ask them to repeat the manoeuvre.
