A 24ct-gold folding bike launched on 12th June is aimed at cyclists who would like a healthy and green means of transport to stow in their luxury sports car, power boat or helicopter.

The golden bike costs £2,500 and folds down into a discreet bag the size of a small suitcase. It is on sale during Bike Week (13-21 June 2009).

Director at ilovemybike.co.uk, Andrew Davis, said: “When folded this bike fits as easily in a helicopter as it does on a number 37
bus – it’s a luxurious and healthy way to travel for the price of a scooter.”

With regards to the plating of the gold bike, we employed a company that buys gold from small-scale, artisanal mines and has a
commitment to fair trade and environmental sustainability.

Surfers
Against Sewage’s (SAS) new campaign Protect Our Waves (POW) campaign is
having its first action, The Gathering, and we need you to get
involved! Simply turn up to Kimmeridge Bay with your wetsuit and board
at 10am on Saturday the 20th of June, International Surfing Day and
show the MoD how important waves are to surfers and waveriders. This is
your chance to be an active part of a solution-based campaign
protecting waves.

The
Gathering will be a mass paddle out at Kimmeridge to demonstrate how
significant and passionate the UK’s surfing and wave-riding communities
are, not least local Bournemouth and Dorset surfers. Winning this
campaign will set a strong precedent for protection of all waves and
all waveriders’ rights to access them, so all surfers have a vested
interest! The Gathering will form the foundations for the Broadbench
campaign and we need the foundations to be as strong as possible. We
need you to attend!

Broadbench is a quality wave in
Kimmeridge Bay, described by many as one of Britain’s best.
Unfortunately it falls right on the outer boundary of a MoD firing
range. Obviously SAS are not asking the MoD to reduce their use of this
important firing range. However, there is a compromise that will ensure
surfers and waveriders can have 100% access to Broadbench without
impacting on the MOD’s full use of the firing range.

We
are calling on the MoD to revert to a previous firing station, changing
where they fire from. This will in turn change the direction of their
firing and leave Broadbench outside the boundary of the firing range.
Leaving surfers and waveriders with 100% access to Broadbench without
it impacting on the MoD in any way.

We are meeting for the
Gathering at Kimmeridge Bay 10am, Saturday the 20th of June at 10am, it
will be finished by 11.30. Please bring your wetsuit and
surfboard/windsurf/kite board/kayak etc… Parking is £4 so please car
share. It will be a fun event and your chance to be an active part of
this solution based Protect Our Waves SAS action in association with
ABBA.
