Brightona 2008 - picture special

Thanks to everyone who came to Maderia Drive for Brightona 2008. The aim this year was to raise £30,000 for the Sussex Heart Charity, a figure that will hopefully become a reality after the record numbers of bikes, riders and spectators that came down to Brighton seafront on Sunday.

UKBike were at Brightona, taking a lot of pictures - here's a small selection...



























There are loads more at the UKBike Brightona galleries.

Panamaniac has shared his Brightona experiences, while here is a short write-up from The Argus.

This Sunday, the south coast will be swamped with bikes as the Brightona 2008 show comes to Madeira Drive, along Brighton seafront.

Last year's event was a great success - over £20,000 was raised for the Sussex Heart Charity, and the organisers are hoping to build on that figure with this years donation.

Brightona 2008 promises to be even bigger and better, with a full line-up of live music across two stages and at the nearby Concorde2, plenty of stalls and a bigger range of custom bikes on display.

All bikes, trikes and scooters are welcome. Entry is just £5 per bike including a pin and programme, free entry for the viewing public.

UKBike.com are proud to sponsor Brightona - we will be there on Sunday with our van next to Rider's Digest, come and say hello! We would have the UKBike bus with us but sadly it broke down, obviously intimidated by all the two-wheelers on show...

We will hopefully post a report on the blog some time next week. If you are planning to go on Sunday, then please let us know about your day - leave a comment here or e-mail tom@ukbike.com.
