British company Brompton, known for their one-of-a-kind folding bicycles have teamed up with various musicians to design bikes for charity. The artists include Foo Fighters, Enrique Iglesias, LCD Soundsystem, Phoebe Bridgers, Oh Wonder, Dinosaur Jr., and more.
The bikes will be auctioned to raise funds for Live Nation’s Crew Nation, a global relief fund for live music workers hit by the absence of shows during the pandemic. The auction begins May 28 and will run until June 12.
Brompton have released the bike designs for Oh Wonder, Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr., and Rise Against. More bike design will be released in the coming weeks, stay tuned!
