Extinction Rebellion activists visited the National Cycling Centre in Manchester on Tuesday 16 July to call on gold medalist and active travel guru Chris Boardman to help them convince British Cycling to drop its sponsor Shell ahead of the Olympics in Paris. Extinction Rebellion: Love The Olympics, Hate Shell The protest took place as Boardman, who was British Cycling’s policy advisor for over a decade, set off on an eight-day bike ride from Manchester to Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Boardman aims to travel across England highlighting the work of inspirational organisations who are working hard to become environmentally sustainable.
