Community cycling group makes interfaith visit to Bradford Cathedral

A two-wheeled interfaith visit happened recently when the Bolton Road Community Cycling Club of Bradford rode to the city’s cathedral for the first stop of their annual Yatra bike ride. 

Arriving just before 9am, the group the learned about the cathedral from the Revd Pete Gunstone and listened to organ music, played by visiting organist Dr Ed Jones.

They also had a guided tour of the impressive building from keen cyclist and EcoGroup member Mike de Villiers, who then joined them on the ride.

The 25-mile cycle trip then took them onto Leeds Road, to visit two Sikh Gurdwaras, a Hindu temple, and the Abu Bakar Masjid, before heading out on the City Superhighway 1 towards Leeds for lunch at the next Gurdwara.

A representative of the Bolton Road Community Cycling Club said of the ride: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to pay our respects while promoting inclusivity among all races and religions through cycling.

"It’s a meaningful day of cycling as we connect communities and explore places of worship of different faiths.”
