Lance new bike !

Please can you help Lance get back on his bike?
On the night of Friday 31sy May, Lance had been riding with his friends on Critical Mass, a monthly celebration of cycling, that has been taking place in London for over 30 years. Earlier that evening, the ride had visited Homerton in East London, to install a white bicycle in memory of cyclist Harry Webb, 27, who was tragically killed there in 2023.
Lance (18) and his friends were stopped at London Bridge on the return leg of the ride. During an incident which is still being investigated, Lance was trapped under the wheels of a car and dragged for approximately 50 metres across London Bridge. He is still recovering from his injuries, which included a broken nose, and heavy brusing and lacerations to his body - but thankfully, he will make a recovery and we are grateful for that.
Unfortunately, his brand new bike, which he had only finished building two days before the incident, was dragged under the car all the way across London Bridge, and completely destroyed beyond repair.
Me (15) and him loved to go riding together. He had put so much of his own time and money into making this bike, and very suddenly and in traumatic circumstances, it is now completely gone.
My heart goes out to Lance.
Please can you spare a few pounds, so when Lance has recovered from his injuries, he will have a new bike to get back onto, or at least some funds from the community, to put towards getting a replacement. Anything at all that you are able to spare for Lance would be appreciated.
He is thankful for the support from the cycling community in London, and still wants to be a part of it in the future.
