Reward for Jon’s stolen bike

Our Managing Director Jon Ellis who has raised more than £15,000 for charity by cycling across the UK has had his bike stolen.

Jon has raised thousands of pounds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and several other charities by taking part in Huddersfield Town’s Pedal for Pounds charity bike rides over the past five years.

Jon says: “The 36-gear Trek Pilot 2.1 road bike has carried me over hundreds of miles over the past few years as I have cycled with other fundraisers to raise funds for charities like Yorkshire Air Ambulance which does such good and important work in our region.

“The bicycle was taken from my garage over the weekend and I would like to appeal to anyone who knows of its whereabouts to get in touch. It is black with silver writing and has dual pedals with cleat clips on the underside. It also had a white light on the handlebars, a tall drinking cup on a holder and a small bag under the seat.”

Last month Jon took part in the Pedal For Pound’s fifth event covering more than 300 kilometres from the Emirates Stadium in London to Huddersfield, via Cambridge and Leicester.  Jon was in the Pink Team and Ferno also supplied a support vehicle for the bike ride.

In spite of an injury to his knee Jon successfully completed the ride to do a lap of honour with other riders at the Huddersfield Town’s John Smith’s stadium.

Jon said he was willing to offer a reward to whoever returns the bicycle.
