A few days ago myself and my partner had our bikes stolen from our shed. The shed was secure and the Police confirmed it was forced entry. After making a claim to my insurers they informed us we weren’t covered! We were planning on using them to ride for charity, the Harewood House Pedal for Pounds event, which has now passed but obviously we couldn’t. This event has passed but we’d love to try again on another event.
All donors will be shown below along with the amount raised. Anybody can donate, if your a friend or just someone who would like to donate then we warmly welcome any donation you wish to make.

Our vow
If we raise over and above the target then we will donate this extra amount to charity. We will also keep all donors up-to-date with our progress, and once the amount is raised give out special thanks to our donors. Once the charity bike ride event has been chosen, we will let our sponsors and donors know on the status. We will do everything in our power to raise as much money for charity as we can so this whole group effort pays off to those in most need, the charity.
The charity
Still to be chosen as this could be decided upon once the event is chosen. The highest donors/sponsors can help us chose a charity if they support one.
The Target
£600 - This would enable us to replace the bikes stolen and give us the necessary quality we feel would help us take on the more challenging events, and hopefully raise more money.
Current amount raised - £60

Exposure
Bike crime is rife in Harrogate at the moment, a policeman informed me. I have contacted the following to see if they are willing to support our story and launch a campaign to educate people of this matter:

Depending on how challenging the charity ride is it is worth signing up to freecycle (http://www.freecycle.org/group/UK/?noautodetect=1) and seeing if there are any bikes on offer.
