Sir Chris Hoy is aiding a Scots charity in their campaign to raise £1m for the construction of homelessness villages in Glasgow and London. The campaign called Break the Cycle has been launched by Social Bite and will see the six-time Olympic champion accompany 1,000 fellow cyclists on a 60-mile charity bike ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh.

Sir Chris Hoy said: “I have seen the impact of the funds raised and I am passionate about supporting the bold approach to breaking the cycle of homelessness.
