SUPERMARKET staff left the checkouts for a 12-hour cycling session to raise money for an ecology park.
Workers wore insect costumes and kept the exercise bike going throughout the day with no breaks at Sainsbury’s, Bugsby's Way, Greenwich.
They were joined by staff from the Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park, a four-acre wetland site which is the store’s chosen charity.
The ecology park, due to hold its winter fayre on December 6, is a haven for wildlife including dragonflies, damselflies, frogs, toads and newts.
Event organiser Elisabeth Yates said the store had raised around £900.
She said: “In total we cycled about 356km which is obviously a really long way but we did have quite a few volunteers.”
