Cyclists Fighting Cancer (CFC) is a registered charity founded in 2005 by CEO Mike Grisenthwaite after his own five year battle with blood cancer. CFC provide a unique and highly effective way of helping kids with cancer through activity and exercise.
CFC help children and young people living with cancer across the UK regain their physical fitness, improve mental wellness and reduce social isolation by giving them new lightweight bikes, specially adapted trikes, cycling-related equipment and support.

To aid Cyclists Fighting Cancer, we are currently running a Trade-In campaign. Trade in your old bike to any of our stores, and receive up to £100 off a new full-price bike (T&Cs apply). All bikes donated will be collected by CFC, who will use them to fill out their amazing new London-based charity bike shop!
