    Cyclists renewed calls for the introduction of more cycle-friendly trains as thousands of riders prepared for Sunday's London-to-Brighton race.

    About 27,000 cyclists take part in the annual ride but, since 2004 train operators have refused to take riders to and from the start and finish. "There will be absolute chaos on the roads, as there is every year," said Ian Davey of charity Bike For Life. Southern Trains said new rolling stock meant it could not accommodate bikes.
