Local celebrities, media personalities and some Patriots cheerleaders showed their pedal power Thursday during a marathon cycling event to raise money for the homeless.

For 11 straight hours, in one hour intervals, spin instructors led classes of people cycling to raise funds during the event called ICycle. It was held outside a Financial District building.

The money benefits HomeStart, a non-profit aiming to end and prevent homelessness.
