Story

There are no swell guy prizes on offer here but we can't just sit back in our warm safe house and watch while families are being torn apart by grief in Ukraine. This is a global problem, we all have a duty to help. 

As a community, cyclists are numerous. We don't all get on and we don't have the same disciplines, but we can put all that aside to raise money for what is right. People need help to evacuate to safer countries. Children need to not cower over the bodies of their parents. We are fortunate to be in a position to do as much as possible from where we are, so let's all dig deep and get the fuck on with it.

Need extra persuasion? No problem. Our friends in the cycling industry and those on the periphery of it, from all over the world, are donating amazing things. Too much to list now, but we wanted to get this page set up and rolling. All donations will be listed soon. Custom stems, paint jobs, famous artists' work, you name it, it can be yours, if you make just one donation of £5 or more. A 'winner' will be selected at random on March 7th 2022 at 7pm. Donations will not close at this time, but we will want to get the goodies to the new owner asap.

To our friends who are supporting with items. Thank you. If you ever have a moment in your darker days and wonder what you ever really contribute...this is it: hope, life-saving endeavours and talent to a cause that is above your pay grade. It takes immense efort to be selfless and don't feel bad if it makes you feel good to contribute. We are all part of a luxury sector and hobby.  There is no onus on us to rise up at all, yet here we are. As one collective of people that know we can do something. Be proud, because we are so proud to know and call you all friends.

To money donators...you guys are the MVP's. Ok, you might be in with a chance of winning a spectacularly incredible hamper of goodies, but aside from that, you are directly opposing war. You're trying to keep families together. There are not enough words to describe the impact that has. 

Let's do this guys. We love you.
