This page is dedicated to the memory of Jonny Ives, much loved by family and friends and a pillar of the Oxford cycling community who died in 2024 from a brain tumour.

Jonny was a sport and leisure journalist with a deep passion for all things cycling which saw him take an active part in the cycling community within Headington and Oxford as a whole. He cared passionately about active transport and was a long-term member of Cyclox.

His love of cycling extended far beyond the Oxfordshire borders, and he was an avid Tour de France follower, even completing several mountain stages of the Etape du Tour in France with friends.

All proceeds from both events will go towards raising funds for Sobell House who gave Jonny and his family such amazing care and support during his illness.
