Today it was a pleasure to hand over the keys for Bella to Madathlon, which has served Northumbria Blood Bikes well since it entered operational service on Sunday 24th August 2014.

Bella and Claire where originally purchased with funds from Madathlon for Northumbria Blood Bikes and its great to see both bikes back together to enjoy their retirement.
