I saw this http://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/world-bicycle-relief-the-power-of-bicycles/

I like the idea because: it connects with what we all love, a bike is only £95, and it feels tangible (£95 buys a bike that goes to a person that helps them and makes a difference, not just in a big fund to slosh about, at least in theory).

I put it to my ride buddies (Up the Cocks!) and in a few hours we had enough pledges of a tenner each to buy a bike. A tenner each seems to work.

Anyone else want to put it to their ride buddies - a tenner each - and have a go?

Chalk them up here if it works.

Number of bikes bought so far: 1

Christmas is just round the corner, how much cash are you going to waste on useless cr*p? Why not do something worthwhile?

We bought 3 in the end together, and one of us individually committed to another. Up the Cocks!
