"One of the best things I've ever done. Combining adventure and challenge with forming new connections and building community, united by shared values of standing in solidarity with refugees and displaced people. "

Every year, we get on our bikes and cycle really far.
In 2022, 93 steely-thighed cyclists rode 5,428km and climbed more than 6 Everests in an 8-week relay through 10 different countries from Glasgow to Athens. Our rides are a wild adventure of pedals, paddles, punctures and porridge, where we get through every challenge together and the next borek is only a ride away. That was the FIFTH time we've cycled to Athens and we'd love YOU to join us for a week when we ride again in '23! |
All our cyclists passionately fundraise for grassroots refugee projects via our charity partner, MASS Action.
In 2022 thighs cyclists raised over £100,000 and since 2016 we've raised over £650,000 for organisations that prioritise dignity, community and flexibility. We're proud that a lot of that money goes on the boring essentials that no other funding body will support - rent, bills and maintenance. It's our way of building a fairer world - starting today. |
