Andrew Moult took part in the Ford RideLondon event on Sunday, travelling from the Embankment through to Essex before reaching the finishing line on the London Bridge in under six hours.

The 64-year-old used a hand cycle to compete the challenge, using his arms to push against the pedals in order to propel him whilst steering with his legs.

He completed the 60 mile ride through the capital alongside fellow cyclist Condessa Parke, with the pair having raised around £1,000 for The Eve Appeal, a charity that supports women with gynaecological cancer.
