Next year’s 20th anniversary edition of London-Paris, the three-day ride that features on many chav-cyclists’ bucket list, will be the last in the current format, with organisers blaming the decision in large part on increased costs and logisticalheadaches in the wake of Brexit.

QUOTE: According to Cyclingnews.com (link is external), organisers say that the total value of bikes used by people participating in the event last year was £1.7 million, and due to customs changes following Brexit, a carnet for the entire fleet hasto be completed to avoid import duties from being applied to each individual bicycle.
No such paperwork was required while the UK remained within the customs union, and the additional costs – plus the prospect of bikes being held at the border if for whatever reason the documentation was unacceptable to customs officials – mean thatit is impossible for the event to continue in its current format.

What happened to all of the promises that the single market would still be in force?
Yet another lie?
London to Paris - the hard way
Run 87 miles - Swim the English Channel - Cycle 181 miles
IS STILL ON.

Yes - what a shame you can't spew out your toxic fumes into the air that
we breathe - what an imposition.

The air quality is generally acceptable for most individuals. However, sensitive groups may experience minor to moderate symptoms from long-term exposure. ENDS
All the better for you lot staying away then.

I recall some bicycle ride or other last year from London to Brighton to ‘…get out of the polluted air of London and enjoy the fresh air of Brighton’, the only snag being the air there that day being more polluted than London’s!
Bicyclists, eh, not the brightest of sparks.

As bad as Brighton is these days (hardly the Grand lady of British
holiday resorts), I find it hard to believe that the place - adjacent,
one must bear in mind, to the English Channel - has any serious
atmospheric pollution.

It was one of those days when The Wind Was In From Africa and bringing
pollution from Europe, which happens now and then.
It can't last long, even when it happens.

New analysis shared with The Independent shows that the number of British performers playing festivals across Europe this year is one-third less than before Brexit.
