The men and women of the Porn Pedallers Cycling Club (PPCC) have put their teutonic testicles and pectoral pulchritude forward to create a new cycling kit that benefits charity.
The adult film industry’s cycling club will debut its new kit at a glitzy launch party at the East London cycle bar and café, Look Mum No Hands!, this evening, which will include a roster of sponsors who have flocked to support the club like Television X HD, age verification specialists VeriMe, AVYourself and Age Checked, Platinum Lace Gentlemen’s Clubs, camming platform BabeStationCams and niche content producer Pascal’s Sub Sluts. Fresh support comes from the UK’s premier escort directory AdultWork.com, personal massager experts Doxy, London fetish party organiser Future Parties and catch-up app Zaucey.com
The Porn Pedallers gained international press coverage earlier this year, when British Cycling was forced to revoke the club’s charter, citing a rule by cycling’s governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), that says “pornographic products, along with tobacco or spirits, that might damage the image of the UCI or of cycling in general cannot be associated directly or indirectly with a license-holder, team or a national or international cycling competition.”
Undeterred by its bust-up with the UCI, the PPCC has partnered with Le Col to launch a new eye-catching kit that surely won’t leave any cyclist feeling flaccid.
More importantly, PPCC has reaffirmed its commitment to fundraising for the HIV and sexual health charity, the Terrence Higgins Trust.
The club’s founder, Chris Ratcliff, has been outspoken in his views on the importance of protecting the health and welfare of performers within the adult industry, fighting the stigma associated with HIV and promoting a safe sex message to the public at large.
“The awareness raising and fundraising that Chris and the team are doing makes such a huge difference to people living with and affected by HIV,” says India Turner-Lees, Head of Community and Events Fundraising at Terrence Higgins Trust. “The money raised will help us deliver vital services to help us end the HIV epidemic, improve sexual health and empower people to live well with HIV. We’re delighted that the Porn Pedallers’ Cycling Club have decided to support us again and we’re wishing them the best of luck in all of their rides this year!”
The monument in the club’s fundraising calendar includes an epic ride down the west coast of France layer this month. The so-called #AtlanticStreak will see six club members, including porn star Tindra Frost, bikepack 900+ miles from Roscoff in Brittany, France, to Santander, Northern Spain, over 9 days unsupported.

The PPCC is also slated to ride Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100, London to Amsterdam, London to Brighton and Paris 24, with a World Aids Day sportive on December 1 still in planning.
