The campaign to keep our healthcare workers moving safely!
We support healthcare workers with bicycles to travel in a safe, healthy way,
now and for the future.
THE RACE on Sky & Zwift
We’re excited that Sky Sports have chosen Wheels For Heroes as the cause for The Race, a virtual cycling chase in which 4x Tour de France champion Chris Froome will chase down other ex-pros such as Kevin Pietersen and other celebrities.

About Brompton
The world's iconic folding bike
Brompton has been making our iconic folding bike since 1975 when our founder, Andrew Ritchie, designed and built the first prototype in South Kensington, London.
We still make our bike in London with over 50,000 bikes made each year. Each bike is hand brazed by skilled craftsman making every bike incredibly tough and unique.
The Brompton was conceived as a product that increases people’s sense of independence and freedom, and this concept is still at the heart of everything we do. We aim to change the way people live in cities for the better.
