Elle Macpherson wants you to get riding this summer! The stunning supermodel has just teamed up with Gethin Jones and Olympian Vicky Pendleton to launch the "Skyride" campaign.

The campaign is a collaboration between Sky and British Cycling, and they have just announced a series of mass-participation summer cycling events to get Britain back on their bikes! The announcement came as new research found that over seven million bikes are unused in sheds, gardens, and garages across the UK. Oh bugger!

Elle believes this is just the beginning of a mass movement. “There’s going to be this huge community, this surge of people riding their bikes and hopefully rediscovering a very simple pleasure. You don’t have to be an Olympic champion to cycle. Get out there and enjoy the environment and enjoy being with the family.”

Why is Elle so serious about cycling? This green goddess knows all about the benefits to riding on a bike instead of in a car. Not only will you end up looking as fit as her, you will also be choosing the eco-friendly ride! What do you think? Will you get riding this summer? Comment below!
