Staff members have been taking it turns to cycle the distance using a static bike in the Sherrard Street store since last Wednesday.

The bike was donated to Specsavers by Waterfield Leisure Pool.

They hope their efforts will raise up to £500 for the British Heart Foundation.

Marcus Lee, customer service manager, said: “We have been taking it in turns to cycle up to 10 miles each, often in our work gear.

“We hope to finish the route by Tuesday.”
