At VeloVixen, we love riding our bikes.

Why do most of us do it? Health, environmental concerns, escaping busy lives, cost, being part of a community, practicality, or sheer joy. And we LOVE all those positives.

But what if it a simple bicycle had the power to change instantly and radically your entire existence? To give you hope of a better, healthier, safer, more prosperous life? That's where World Bicycle Relief comes in.

What draws us especially to World Bicycle Relief is how they recognise the importance of women and girls. Traditionally marginalised to limited roles in many parts of the developing world, thousands of female lives - and those of their dependents - have been transformed by owning and using a bicycle. World Bicycle Relief's specially designed Buffalo Bikes cost £120 to make and are deliberately robust and easy to maintain by local mechanics using generic parts.

Starting in 2021, we're starting a partnership with World Bicycle Relief by giving you the chance to add a few extra pounds to any order you place with VeloVixen as you check out. You can simply choose to add a percentage of the value of your order, or contribute a sum of your choice. We will ensure every penny goes to World Bicycle Relief.
