Hundreds take part in city drum and bass cycle

Hundreds of people have taken part in a drum and bass cycle in the city where the project first started.

The annual event led by DJ Dom Whiting started in Bristol in 2021 in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and has continued to grow in popularity.

Whiting said the "unique" project started as "one boy on a bike with DJ decks" was something he would continue to do for "many years to come".

Michael Wood, who travelled from Birmingham to take part, said: "It's the best thing I've ever done - I love it, there's nothing better than this."

"I wanted to show off my beautiful bike and trainers I thought Bristol would be the best place for it because it's full of the best people," Wood said.

"I've been going to raves and festivals for 20 years, but stuff like this, I think it's better when it's just out in the street and everyone's out on the street."

Jess, from Bristol, said it was the third time she had taken part.

"It's such a community atmosphere and I think that music really brings people together," she said.

"It's good vibes. It's great and brings a smile to people's faces."

Since starting the event it has gone worldwide - something Whiting said felt "quite surreal" and described coming back to Bristol as a nice "full circle" moment.

"Bristol itself has such a big musical culture, it's the home of drum and bass," he said.

"It holds such a different vibe and I feel like it just pulls me back every time.

"It's something that I think I'll continue to do for many years to come."
