Bidder gets wheels which did miles for Chiles

TV presenter and Albion fan Adrian Chiles was back at The Hawthorns as he handed over the bicycle which took him almost the length of the country to the highest charity bidder.TV presenter and Albion fan Adrian Chiles was back at The Hawthorns as he handed over the bicycle which took him almost the length of the country to the highest charity bidder.Mike Quinn, who attended the game with his wife Tracey, paid more than £1,500 in a charity auction for the top-of-the-range Specialised Roubaix Expert bike.

It was the same bike which the Baggies-mad television presenter used for his Sport Relief Super Cycle, when he joined England legend Alan Shearer to pedal 335 miles from Newcastle to BBC Television Centre in London, via The Hawthorns.

The daring duo raised over £410,000 when they completed the challenge in just two days back in March.

But the funds were boosted further when Adrian’s set of wheels was auctioned off in aid of Sport Relief on the club’s official website.

Adrian wheeled the bike onto the pitch at half time during Albion’s 3-2 win over West Ham on Saturday, to present it to the winning bidder.

    What I really love about Adrian is he makes NO attempt to hide his accent among those elite of the BBC. Obviously he can’t use our dialect, they’d never understand a word, but his accent is there along with excellent GRAMMAR, which leaves no loopholes for toffee-nosed bigheads. Everything he’s in is brilliant and a credit to the Black Country.
