CycleLove 2nd Birthday Bash
6.30-10pm
Look Mum No Hands East
125-127 Mare Street
E8 3RH
Stylish cycling blog CycleLove hosts a birthday gathering at Look Mum No Hands East to celebrate their second birthday — with prizes to be won from bike brands like Knog and Ally Capellino at a charity raffle in aid of Cyclists Fighting Cancer.
CycleLove has been documenting bike culture in and around London for two years now, and with cycling growing ever more popular, there is more than ever for us to feature on our blog.
To celebrate our second birthday, we're hosting a social event for people who love bikes at the new Look Mum No Hands cafe on Mare Street in Hackney.
Like last year, we've lined up some amazing prizes which you can win on the night, with all proceeds going to the charity Cyclists Fighting Cancer, who give bikes, adapted trikes and tandems to children and young people whose lives have been affected by cancer.
The raffle takes place at 8pm — but make sure you turn up a little early to buy your tickets (just £1 each) and decide which prizes you want to try and win!
With 10 craft beers on tap, and some amazing cycling products up for grabs, you'd be nuts not to pedal on down to join the party.
Here's the full list of fabulous prizes up for grabs:
— Bike lights and locks from Knog including a Blinder 1 and Blinder 4
— An Ally Capellino Tommo Despatch Bag
— Deliciously flavoured chocolate from Cocoa Hernando
— Locally roasted coffee from London’s own Pact Coffee
— Otto London ponchos
— Anthony Oram prints
— Saddle, bars and grips from Foffa Bikes
— Lovely vintage-style cycling jerseys courtesy of Isambards Cycles
— Is it a bag or a backpack? Or both? It’s Notabag
— All kinds of cool stuff from Restrap
— Signed prints by Paul Calver
— A Tom Donhou ‘All I Want To Do’ poster and print
— A clever Nutter bike multi-tool from The Full Windsor
— Beautiful leather cycling shoes by Quoc Pham
— Luvelo Bike Bells
— Bespoke recycled jewellery from Katie's Bike
— Limited edition CycleLove t-shirts and posters
