Gym membership lost its novelty? Forget grappling Bridget Jones style with a bike that goes nowhere - the best way to cycle is on the open road, by taking part in the Action 100 Bike Ride in aid of Action Medical Research. Applications have just opened for the 2006 Silver Jubilee Bike ride, which challenges its participants to cycle the 100 miles from Bristol/Bath to London  Whether a keen cyclist, enthusiastic fund-raiser, or just trying to honour New Year’s resolutions, applications are open now to sign up for Britain’s best charity bike ride.

The Action 100 cycle ride (www.action100ride.org.uk) runs annually from Bath and Bristol to London to raise funds for one of the UK’s leading charities, Action Medical Research, which uniquely funds research at the point of breakthrough. Zed PR worked with the charity on an expenses only basis last year, forming the company’s charitable contributions for the year.

The site has been left in place to allow the charity greater visibility.

Ofcom’s recent publication, “Using your mobile abroad”, provided some useful advice for UK consumers, but according to UK telecoms specialist, BrightCom, its recommendations did not go far enough for the business community and is urging companies where staff undertake international travel to look closely at their phone bills.
According to David Green, Director, BrightCom, the report fails to address international calling where there are equally, if not more, excessive rates   Businesses are affected more than consumers because they tend to be heavier users of Roaming and International calls (they typically represent between 30% and 80% of a corporation’s total call charges).
