Bike4Life organisers thank supporters for another successful year
Organisers behind the Bike4Life biking festival that brought thousands of people into Shropshire have thanked everybody involved for making it such a success.
Bike4Life saw 3,500 bikers drive along the M54 from Shrewsbury to RAF Cosford yesterday, with crowds lining the motorway to cheer and wave from bridges and roundabouts.
The riders travelled from as far as France to support West Midlands Air Ambulance’s annual fundraiser.
