'I signed up for a cancer fundraiser bike ride - without a bike'
A man organised a 85-mile charity bike ride for his niece - before remembering he did not actually own a said the idea was "pulled out of nowhere" because he was so keen to help raise funds for his Eliyah, from Nottingham, was diagnosed with leukaemia on 28 April in what her family describe as a "massive shock".After buying a second-hand bike from social media, Callum admitted his main training for the ride from the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham to Skegness on 1 August was commuting to his job in Derby. The 28-year-old, from Sandiacre, Derbyshire, said: "She is the sassiest, most talkative four-year-old you could imagine. You can hold a conversation with her for 10 minutes and she won't stop talking and talking."She was into her horses and into her dancing. She was always on the go but then the diagnosis came almost overnight."Other members of the family began to suggest fundraising ideas so Callum wanted to join in."I just pulled the idea out of nowhere and everyone really went for it," he said."Then I realised I didn't actually own a bike, so I had to go social media and buy one second-hand. Hopefully it will do the job."I work in Derby so going there from home is the main training and that's going OK but the heat doesn't make it easy." Eliyah's grandmother Kelly, 45, from Wollaton, Nottinghamshire, said the diagnosis came out of the blue after she became lethargic and had nose bleeds. "You just don't expect it," she said. "You just don't expect to be told that your four-year-old granddaughter has got cancer, it was a massive shock."But we've had amazing support, the community has really come forward, we've had so many people offer support and this is so important."She's just started a new chemotherapy treatment as part of her two-year programme but hopefully she'll soon be back to the sassy girl we know."Callum said the original idea was "just me and the road" but he is being joined by a friend and the family has organised a welcoming said: "What would be really great is if Eliyah could be there herself - that's what would really make it extra special."

Danish chef rolls up with gourmet feasts on Copenhagen cargo bike tours
Hopping off his custom-built bicycle-turned-portable kitchen, Danish chef Morten Kryger Wulff started whipping up a feast of tantalising, original dishes – served with a generous side of nature. The 56-year-old chef, a veteran of prestigious kitchens across Europe, got the idea more than two decades ago to take his cooking to the great outdoors, leading customers on a gastronomic bike ride through Copenhagen – with delectable food served at every stop. On a sunny weekday in July, grilled seaweed, dill cream, bean fricassee, Nordic pizza and blackcurrant ice cream were on the menu for the ride from the Danish capital's harbour to the Amager Nature Park. 'This is as close as I can come to nature, cooking-wise, in a chef way,' said Wulff. The tour lasts about four hours total, covering 3 to 5km (2 to 3 miles). It is broken into bike rides of about 15 minutes each, in between which the chef gets off his bike, unfolds his table and starts cooking.
