Share the Ride: Crunching the Numbers

Diamondback got on board to get some local kids on bikes last year and they were beyond pumped.

We are at the final stages of our fundraising drive and we are so close to reaching our goal. So far we have had 977 users donate. Awesome! But let's look at the numbers. Pinkbike has 795,339 registered users. If every registered user donated just $5, we would raise $3,976,695. Not only could we cancel some world debt, we could buy approximately 25,511 new bikes, locks and helmets.

Still need inspiration? Every $5 you donate will count towards one entry to win these amazing prizes.

Here's what you could win:

Grand Prize: A Giant Reign 1 27.5
Valued at $5,299 CAD the Giant Reign 1 27.5 shines when the trail gets rough. It’s strong enough to tame aggressive terrain and efficient enough to conquer climbs with ease. Stable geometry, a tapered OverDrive steerer tube design and air or oil shock-compatible shock mounts make Reign 27.5 the choice for aggressive trail riding and enduro racing.

The Giant Reign 1 27.5 comes equipped with:
• Durable ALUXX SL-grade aluminum frame with 6.3 inches of smooth Maestro suspension
• RockShox Pike RCT3 Dual Position Air 130-160mm-travel fork with 15mm thru-axle and an OverDrive steerer
• RockShox Monarch Plus Debonair RC3 rear shock
• DT Swiss Spline One wheelset with Schwalbe tires
• SRAM 11-speed drivetrain with Avid Guide RS hydraulic disc brakes

New Prizing Alert!
If we didn't already have enough prizing, we sure do now. Here's the latest swag you could win:


Whistler Mountain Bike Park has donated three sets of two day bike park tickets. To complement the tickets, The Crystal Lodge and Suites are giving each ticket winner a one night stay at the hotel. Pack your bags and prepare to do some Remy Metailler spotting.


STOP Components are offering two full sets of 203mm stop floating rotors, coloured rotor bolts and choice of sintered brake pads. Nice!

How it works
-For every $5 donated between Nov 4th, 2014 and Midnight of December 12th, you will earn one chance to win the Giant Reign 1 27.5 bike and other listed prizes. So if you donate $25 that is 5 chances at a bunch of prizes.
-The winners will be selected from a spreadsheet using random selection.
-The winners will be notified by e-mail and asked a mountain bike related knowledge question.
-We will ship worldwide ... Customs fees and other applicable taxes will be the winner's responsibilities.

Where will your money go?
- $150 is enough to buy one child a new bike and a helmet.
- We are working with community centers, schools, youth and family service programs and other established charities and foundations to identify children from low income families who will benefit from this gift.
- We are world wide.
- We aim to ensure that the children receiving these gifts are educated on basic bicycle safety and maintenance.
