Cloud 9 Cycles – an independent bike shop in London – is running a raffle for a custom bike frame to raise money for London’s Air Ambulance Charity.
The shop is shutting its doors to pursue new adventures and has so far raised £7,750 for the charity in its final hurrah.
“We originally started supporting the charity in October 2022 when we put a collection pot in the shop for any small repairs we did free of charge,” said Alex, one of the three who made up Cloud 9 Cycles.
“So many people benefit from the services of London’s Air Ambulance Charity, and it really does resonate with the cycling community.”
The raffle competition ends on 3 June and all proceeds will be donated to London’s Air Ambulance Charity. The bike frame is a titanium Enigma 'Escape' frame with a custom painted fork by Lucia of Velofique Designs, in the preferred size of the winner. Buy your raffle ticket before it’s too late!
“The competition is our parting gift for closing!” said Alex. “Our landlords, Bedford Estate, have been so supportive throughout, they also donated £650 towards the fee of the running of the raffle.
“We saw the opportunity to try something different. So Adam – the owner of Cloud 9 Cycles – is now running a bike rental business, and Luca and I have moved to Wales!”
We’re so thankful to Cloud 9 Cycles and Bedford Estate for all their efforts, and wish Adam, Alex and Luca all the best for the future.
