Breast Cancer Care’s Tour de Law 2015 took place this week, with more than 3,500 lawyers getting on their (stationary) bikes for charity. Top law firms raced against each other over the equivalent distance of London to Paris and back (1,000km). The event took place nationally for the first time, with 23 teams from firms across the UK. The cyclists took part in 15 minute relay slots over the two days of the event in order to cover the distance.
