Get yourself a new bike AND feel warm and fuzzy by supporting one of our Kindred community
The team at Peloton came to us with a great idea to support the Kindred community. They’ve already been busy supplying key workers with bikes during lockdown, and are now donating a custom-finished bike every other week, which we’ll auction to support the Kindred community.
North Liverpool-based Positive Futures Homes is a new social enterprise. It’s built on a successful project that supports personal development in young people by offering sport, arts and education. Now, the team has been working really hard on a new Children’s Home, investing in their long-term positive futures.
It needs to kit it out with everything from bedroom furniture, bedding and bath towels to kitchen kit, crockery and cutlery and cleaning products. So, this week the proceeds from the sale of Peloton’s amazing tandem will go to support the home’s opening, and all the young people who’ll be given a good chance by their amazing work. Find out more on their website…
This weeks bike is a lovingly refurbished and reimagined tandem – a bicycle made for two! Whether it’s a parent and child or a couple who’ve been locked down indoors for nearly four months, this beauty will get the wind in your hair. It features:
- six-speed new wave tandem
- disc brakes on the front for extra stopping power
- puncture-proof tyres
- sprayed in space-age silver

Week one
Our first Peloton collaboration supported Therapeutic Garden.
As a complementary therapist, Jan’s work has been badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, and she falls into a group of people who haven’t been supported by government intervention. So, to give Jan a lift and help her through this tricky time, the money raised by selling the bike went to support her work. Find more about her on Facebook.
