and pads by Esemdesign and of course the iconic Skyway Tuff Wheels.
The two Raleigh Burner bikes will be auctioned on Ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to Bikes4Ukraine. The Raleigh Burner is an iconic bike that made
BMX accessible to all in the 1980’s - with that in mind, Raleigh hopes to speak to an audience of bicycle fans that can reminisce about how a bike can change the narrative of freedom and inspire their fans to bid on the bike.
How the Raleigh Burner Bike fundraiser for Bikes4Ukraine works:
1. Place a bid on Ebay for the bikes to be in the likes of buying it and help raise funds for this urgent cause. 100% of the proceeds go to Bikes4Ukraine!
2. To donate additionally go to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bikes4ukraine
3. The MK1 Burner auction starts on Monday 3rd October at 8.00pm BST for 10 days

4. Additionally tips placed at checkout at alansbmx.com for October will also go to the Bike4Ukraine charity.
Alan, founder of Alans BMX said, ‘Building the Raleigh Burner Bikes to support the charity Bikes4Ukraine made me realise that we don’t need to have all the answers or do it all ourselves. What counts is to activate our communities to come together and give back as little or much anyone can to support those that are struggling. That’s why I decided to also donate 100% of any tips that are placed this year when ordering on my website to go straight to Bikes4Ukraine.’
Raleigh Partner with Alans BMX to Support the Charity Bikes4Ukraine
Raleigh , the British bicycle brand, is supporting Alans BMX and the charity Bikes4Ukraine - Alans BMX will be raffling off two one-off custom Raleigh Burner Bikes in Ukraine colours to raise funds for the charity so refugees can be supplied with bikes. So far, thousands of refugees have left their homes with next to nothing and public transport is under extreme pressure. With limited alternative ways to travel, Raleigh and Alans BMX understand the urgency to support a charity.
Bikes4Ukraine is raising funds to support the collection of second hand bikes and transportation of them to Ukrainian cities such as Lviv, where thousands of people are currently seeking refuge. In order to help the charity, formed by Mikael Colville-Andersen, an internationally renowned expert on cycling and
urban mobility, Alans BMX built one Mk1 and one Mk2 Raleigh Burner BMX bikes. The bikes are specced with Dia-Compe brakes and Tioga tyres supplied by Ison Distribution, special graphics by Delcals
