Rutland Cycling is supporting the Marcus Rashford-backed Foodshare charity, while it is able to ride out the national lockdown.

As an essential retailer, Rutland Cycling's 14 stores, workshops and online retail will remain open as usual during the November lockdown, 7 days a week. In line with public health guidelines, procedures are in place in stores for the safety of both customers and staff.

The company says enjoying the great outdoors by bike can have a hugely positive impact on physical and mental health, and Rutland Cycling able to keep open its hire stores at: Rutland Water, Grafham Water, Pitsford Water, Leicester, Peterborough and Cambridge.

As part of the continued opening, Rutland Cycling says it is delighted to announce that 50% of all hire revenue during November will be donated to FareShare, the UK's national network of charitable food redistributors which provides food for vulnerable children and families, and supported by Marcus Rashford.

CEO Karen Archer said: "I would like to thank our store teams for helping to keep everyone cycling at this time. We are committed as a Company to supporting our staff, customers and the work of Fareshare over the coming days and weeks, as we all rise to the challenges ahead of us. In the meantime, please look after yourselves and your families".
