Building Ben's Bike

Meet Ben - he is riding a kids bike from Manchester to Newcastle. That’s 148 miles up hill & down dale through rural Yorkshire!
Ben has been at regular at Cobalt Studios in Newcastle for the past 3 years. During this time Ben has become passionate about the importance of Cobalt and other similar small, independent grassroots community & arts spaces & what they mean to communities. To raise awareness of the bigger picture and funds for Cobalt he has decided to cycle from his home city of Manchester to his student city of Newcastle on a kids bike! Over 150 miles uphill & down dale Please smile, honk your horn, clap him, play your instruments, feed him drinks or food as he passes and consider supporting the fundraiser here - BIT.LY/RIDINGFORGRASSROOTSMUSIC
