Cyclists and survivors from the 7/7 London bombings raised thousands of pounds in memory of a victim from Hampstead Garden Suburb.

More than 50 people took part in the cycle ride from Oxford to Tavistock Square, via Marlow and Golders Green, on Sunday to raise money for the Miriam Hyman Memorial Trust.

The ride marked the tenth anniversary of the death of Miriam Hyman, a picture researcher killed in the Tavistock Square bus explosion at the age of 32.

Among the cyclists was Gill Hicks, who lost both her legs in the 2005 terror attacks, and who used a hand cycle from Golders Green to Tavistock Square.

Charity worker Lizzi Hollis, 25, took part from Golders Green to Tavistock Square, and said the trust hoped to have raised £10,000 from the day.

Miss Hollis, who grew up in Burnt Oak and attended Copthall School, where Miriam was a pupil, said: “It was really wonderful. There were survivors from 7/7 who took part. It was incredible, absolutely amazing.”

The cycle ride was followed by a reception in BMA House, in Tavistock Square, where Miriam’s family spoke about their recently launched anti-extremism campaign for schools, called Miriam’s Vision: A Response to the 2005 London Bombings.

Miss Hollis, who now lives in Wandsworth and volunteers for the trust, said: “They gave a talk about her vision. It was about looking to the future and being positive.”

She added: “It is a very positive organisation, they want to turn the most awful thing that could have happened to them into something positive. If they can just get to one person and stop them from extremism, it is worthwhile.”

Esther Hyman, Miriam’s sister, told the Times Series last week: “We want to make as big an impact as we can in building Miriam’s vision of a safer, more inclusive society. Our motivation is so nobody else has to go through what we have been through.”
