A Fundraiser for Ride Group: Win This Baphomet Bicycles New Mexico Single Speed Rigid MTB

Today we’ve got something special from our lad Dillen at Baphomet Bicycles and Molly Cameron‘s Ride Group. We’re stoked to host a fundraiser in hopes of raising money for Ride Group so read on below for how you can win this bike, built up with lots of MUSA components and accessorized with New Mexico bag makers…

With the 2022 UCI World Cyclocross Championships slated to take place in a state with legislated hate against trans athletes, now is the perfect time to show the world there is no room for hate in the cycling community. Ride Group is an organization committed to fighting for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community within all aspects of cycling. As such, Baphomet has partnered up with the Radavist to raffle off a full bike with all proceeds going directly to Ride Group!

This project began as simply building a bike for a show. However, it rapidly morphed into something so much bigger. This bike will be the first of many charity raffle bikes and this one is meant to represent all I find truly amazing about cycling—simplicity, and eagerness for adventure! The ability to cruise around comfortably, or pack up for a multi-day adventure into the beautiful natural spaces. This is exactly what I want out of a bike, so that’s what I made for you! Living in the Land of Enchantment means I am lucky to be surrounded by talented makers and artists who share my drive to make the world of cycling more inclusive. That’s why this bike shares the colour scheme of our state license plate alongside some special southwest graphics from the Radavist and Send It Safely.

If you want to win this custom-built New Mexico-themed bike assembled at Sincere Cycles in Santa Fe, all you have to do is follow these simple instructions:
-go to www.ridegroup.org/wristbands and purchase at least one Baphomet Bike Raffle + Wristband.
-Once you do, send your receipt to sendit@baphometbicycles.com and you will receive one entry to the raffle per “Baphomet Bike Raffle + Wristband” that you purchase.
-That’s it!

When the raffle is over the winner will receive an email from Baphomet Bikes saying you have won and get the bike shipped out to wherever you are. Help Ride Group fight for the LGBTQ+ community while getting the chance to ride off into the sunset on a custom bike. Win, win!
