The Gralloch is proud to continue our partnership with World Bicycle Relief, using the power of gravel riding to create meaningful change.

Last year, the Gralloch community helped fund the equivalent of 12 Buffalo Bicycles, transforming lives by providing reliable mobility to people in communities where distance is a daily barrier.

In 2026, we ride again. Together, we can go even further.

Ride With Purpose

At The Gralloch, we believe in the power of the bicycle. Not just as a tool for racing, but as a vehicle for opportunity.

For just £120, you can fund a Buffalo Bicycle through World Bicycle Relief, enabling access to education, healthcare and economic opportunity.

“Going to school used to take at least three hours each way, and crossing the river was sometimes impossible. I was often scared because of boys along the path. After receiving my Buffalo Bicycle, my journey is easier and faster, and my performance has greatly improved. I am proud of myself, and I can focus on my dream of becoming a nurse.”
Aleni | Student | Malawi

With a Buffalo Bicycle from World Bicycle Relief, students like Aleni gain:

• Increased attendance and retention at school
• Improved academic performance
• Greater independence and self-reliance

Mobility changes everything.
