Colin Addison, Co-Founder & Marketing Officer at OneLife iD, said, "The Tour of Britain is the UK’s top cycling event and we are delighted to be working with the team on The Tour Rides. Our passion is cycling and when we realised that the final stage passes our front door in the Surrey Hills we just had to be involved”.

Working with OneLife iD means that we are able to offer riders in The Tour Rides an emergency and sports identity band that helps keep them safe before, during and after their event and lets The Tour Ride team keep them up to date with the latest event information”.
