    "Have you seen this?

    A 50-strong team of bus drivers, management and IT staff will all be putting on their bicycle helmets and shorts to join around 9000 other cyclists peddling from Glasgow to Edinburgh for the ‘Freshnlo Pedal for Scotland’ charity event on 9 September..

    This is the second year we have submitted a team to the event. Last year, the cyclists collected £3600 for worthy local causes. This year they hope to raise over £5000 to be split between the Lothian Buses’ Charity of the Year, the Lothian Autistic Society, and Prostate Cancer, a charity which is close to the hearts of the workforce."

    The Lothian Buses riders should do well, one of their riders moonlights for team Liquigas it seems...
