Hey, I’m Andrew,


I’m a student from the U.S., currently in London for an internship I’m really excited about!

Before coming here, I saved up for months to buy a bike I truly loved — sleek, light, fast — the kind of bike I dreamed of owning. I even invested in a travel case to bring it with me to London so I could explore and commute. I rode through Richmond Park my first few days here — it made me feel free and grounded in a new city, and was such a cool way to explore a city I’d never spent much time in!

Unfortunately, on my first day biking to the office, I locked it up near the station in the morning. A few hours later, it was gone.

I was devastated. My bike wasn’t just a bike — it was my first really, big investment, a symbol of my hard work and the money I had saved to buy it. It was something I genuinely looked forward to using every day.

I’m currently saving to buy a new bike, as it genuinely bring me joy and a sense of freedom in my day-to-day, life. As a student-athlete on my university’s cross-country and track team, it’s also a great way for me to stay active and train while I’m working in London, especially before the cross-country season starts up again.

If you feel moved to help — even just a little — it would truly mean so much. Whether it’s £1, £5, or £10, or simply sharing this link, thank you for supporting me in getting back on two wheels.

Thank you so much!


Andrew
