Group of 20 bicyclists begins Ride for Africycle

Friday a group of more than 20 bicycle riders departed from Peterborough, Ontario. As part of the third annual Ride for Africycle, over the next 10 days the cyclists will travel more than 620 miles around Lake Ontario before returning to Peterborough.

Ride for Africycle raises money to send bicycles to shops in the East African nation of Malawi.

Last year the ride raised $12,600. To learn more about the ride, go to www.rideforafricycle.com.
