BODY BIKE at Wheel of Energy365- 365 days in the fight against cancer

The potential of indoor cycling is now seriously doing justice to itself. The collective will and the power of the indoor cycling group mixed with the rhythm of music are coming together and creating a motivating environment supporting ‘Wheel of Energy365’ in the fight against cancer.

On 10.10.10 at 10.10 o’clock, the opening of ‘Wheel of Energy365’ is taking place at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol – BODY BIKE will be there with 25 high quality indoor cycles ready to pick up the challenge and support the fight against cancer.

‘Wheel of Energy365’ is a gigantic running wheel where several people can run simultaneously. The initiator is Richard Bottram and he will keep the wheel in motion 4 hours a day for 365 days in a row - equalling running a marathon each and every single day for a whole year. When Bottram is not running he encourages other people to run in the giant wheel and give their energy to heighten the life quality of people with cancer. The human energy will be converted into electric energy and used to raise funds for the fight against cancer.

‘Sport breaks down all barriers and together we can make a difference’ Richard Bottram

BODY BIKE wishes to thank Richard Bottram and the team behind Wheel of Energy for the opportunity to be part of this tremendously inspiring project. ‘I hope that people will feel inspired by this single man’s great effort to draw attention and support the fight against cancer.

The Wheel of Energy has been spinning for almost a year now and the BODY BIKE indoor cycles are ready for the grand finally. Join the spin to tribute to the fight against cancer.

The wooden shoes were replaced with sneakers when a group of friends kept the wheel spinning for several hours. The friends showed their support on the BODY BIKE Classic Supreme indoor cycles while the wheel was spinning.

The wheel has been spinning for ¾ year with BODY BIKE indoor cycles on the side for warm up and moral support. The BODY BIKE indoor cycles are a great way for the team members to warm up prior to a spin in the wheel.

It is not often you see a bird on a BODY BIKE Indoor Cycle, but the Roparun Mascot did it. He helped create awareness about the spinning wheel and the fight against cancer.

Everybody can sign up and help spin the bikes and the Wheel of Energy. Here students from Herbert Vissers College keep the wheel and the BODY BIKE cycles spinning.

Snow is keeping air traffic on the ground, but Richard Bottram is still flying high in the Wheel of Energy. With a little road salt, a broom in his hand and a warm heart Bottram is continuing with his 64th marathon for the fight against cancer. BODY BIKE wishes Bottram and his supporters a merry Christmas and hope they will keep the wheel spinning in the new year.

Citibank Netherland encourages Bottram to keep up the good work of spinning the Wheel of Energy for the fight against cancer. The Client Executive team was doing their part by keeping the BODY BIKE Indoor Cycles spinning while Bottram ran his daily marathon supporting him with positive energy. Afterwards a donation was made to help Bottram in the fight against cancer.

On 10.10.10 at 10.10 o’clock the Wheel of Energy started spinning. BODY BIKE Supreme indoor cycles are lined up around the wheel – perfect for warm-up and support.

The bikes have been specially branded with the Wheel of Energy logo. All bikes are equipped with pedals that can be used by people wearing both running shoes or cycling shoes with SPD.

Richard Bottram has also been initiator on the project “Marathon 365: Run Against Cancer” in 2006-2007. During one year he ran a marathon distance (42,2km) every day in 14 European countries. Bottram makes it clear that neither this project in 2010 nor the project in 2006-2007 has been a race or a record attempt – this is purely to put focus on cancer and support the fight against it. The target running speed is 10 km/h / 6,2 mph.
