Hey there,
I’m part of a small group running a project to help raise awareness of minorities in cycling, and help people remember the incredible global presence the bicycle has.
We’re currently making a small run of waxed cotton musettes with eye-catching prints from African and Latin American communities, with the idea of sharing cultures and starting conversations around our love of cycling.
We have folks with heritage from Ghana, South Africa, West Indies, Central America, North East Africa, and a few other places that escape me currently, and all proceeds are being put into our other community-building and volunteer projects in South London. We tried registering as a charity last year, but in-fighting around our constitution nearly broke the group apart, so sadly we’re not currently a formal charity. Our other projects include a weekly warm spaces meet-up club, an award-winning community vegetable garden, a sewing group, and hopefully soon a dr bike-type setup near Brixton and Camberwell.
Here’s what we currently have on offer ready to ship. You’ll notice there’s a few different sewing styles, and that’s because we’ve been using different machines (we started with a 1952 Singer that only does straight stitches, so the inside folds had to be different to ones made with a commercial overlocker). Tonight is the first time we’re advertising them, so we’re thinking £10 special LFGSS price. If the price is completely off please chime in (preferably politely, please :) ).
