Meg Whyte’s Rave-Inspired Mega Makes us Want a Bothie Rave

The idea for this edit came about because of Meg’s rave inspired Mega. Meg Whyte lives and breathes bikes, and as a racer and bike shop manager, her life revolves around them. Her custom mega was a long time in the making, and she’s stoked on the pink.

The inspiration for the design and consequently the shoot came about from my wild uni party days, we used to have hidden cave raves in nearby slate quarries, and I wanted a bike design that represented that part of my life. Think sticky floors, glow sticks and killer beats. I wanted a something bold and pink (of course) with a retro neon theme. I dropped the idea on Jonny at EliteRefinish, and he brought my vision to life

The team headed up to the Lake District to film the edit, and hilariously (but probably not for him) there was someone staying in the bothie during filming.

As a part-time Lake District resident,ย plus havingย the local legendaryย tour guideย for aย partner Adamย โ€œGas to Flatโ€ Brayton, they went outย exploringย locationsย that could showย Megโ€™sย Mega in its natural habitat. Thanks toย Honisterย Slate Mine for theย after hoursย accessย and sorry to the poorย ladย thatย was also stayingย in the bothie.

Not too good about writing about myself, but not so bad at writing about other things. There was a time that I hated bikes, but then they became my life. Wouldn't be the person I am if I hadn't been on this journey. Here's to bikes, drinking tea and everything that comes with life on two wheels. I'm Lauren, I like bikes and writing about them. Always trying my best and up for adventures.
