DiscountedCycling.com donates a portion of Softride Sales to local flood recovery charities. Mike Gardner’s local online bicycle distribution business has been spared the flooding that is currently causing destruction across the region. His bicycle business DiscountedCyling.com will be donating $25 of every Softride Dura 4 bike rack sold this month, to local relief charities.

In addition to leveraging its established business channel to raise some cash for local relief, Discounted Cycling has opened up its 60,000 square foot warehouse to the Red Cross to use as staging ground for dispensing clean water. Gardner said of his decision to give away profit from some of his Softride Rack sales, “It just makes sense, when your neighbors need help you look around for your tools. In this case our tools are warehouse space and great customers across the country.”

Ryan Allsop, Co-President of Softride Inc, got the call from Discounted Cycling and recounted the following “We see the news footage, but don’t know how our dealers in the flood areas are fairing, we were glad to hear from Mike that they were out of harms way, and when he asked if he could move some of our closeout racks for us and raise some money for local restoration, we jumped at the chance to support his efforts”.

DiscountedCycle.com has assembled compelling video coverage of flooding this week in the areas near its warehouse www.discountedcycling.com
