Lawyers are gearing up for the fiercely contested Tour de Law, due to take place on 28 and 29 September 2016. The annual indoor cycling race, held on stationary wattbikes, covers the distance from London to Paris and back again. Legal professionals take turns on the pedals to do their bit for Breast Cancer Care, cheered on by their colleagues. This year the event can be followed live on the website.
