Thousands cycle through Bristol as Drum & Bass on the Bike returns

By Martin Booth  Sunday Apr 2, 2023

Thousands of people cycled and scooted through the streets of Bristol on Sunday as Drum & Bass on the Bike returned for its third annual outing to the city.

Dom Whiting was once again the Pied Piper as he led the gathered throng, starting and finishing at the Lloyds Amphitheatre and heading up Jacob’s Wells Road to the Clifton Triangle, down Park Street and through the centre towards Stokes Croft.

It was Whiting’s biggest ride in Bristol yet, with his first visit in 2021 starting from the Suspension Bridge only attracting around a dozen riders, with hundreds joining him from College Green in 2022.

This time around, there were thousands – with Park Street full of cyclists from top to bottom during the ride.

Here are just a few of the highlights:
