Overview
- Organiser Olly Harrison announced the decision to end the event indefinitely, citing mounting safety and organisational concerns.
- He said he was unable to secure support from Liverpool City Council or Merseyside Police after the force ended traffic management assistance in 2022.
- Organisers had turned to independent bike marshals, but growing crowds made that approach insufficient and raised fears of personal legal liability.
- The convoy evolved into a three-hour, multi-stop parade across Merseyside and has raised more than £300,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Charity since 2020.
- Harrison said any revival would require authorities to take it on, while residents expressed disappointment over the loss of a much-loved community event.
