Falling off seems to be the new staying on. Indeed, we’ve had reports in hushed whispers from those in the know recently that you’re not down with the kids unless your arm’s in a sling or you have a plastercast on your leg. So having dealt with half a dozen or so claims in the […]
*edited* We did have a few words on here bemoaning the fact that one of our most proactive fundraisers and organisers, Papillon, had upped sticks to start a new episode in Holland. It ended up sounding so much like an obituary that she was forced to come back to London just to show us all […]
Rollapaluza Goldsprints 2010 lived up to it’s promise yet again with another superb, atmosphere laden night of roller mayhem at The Horseshoe. About forty or so working couriers, male and female, stepped up to see who would go away with the highly coveted title of fastest courier in London and the competition was nothing other than fierce. For the girls, newcomer […]
Very welcome news just in that on April 1st, Greg ‘G-Reg’ Hall of Pink Express Couriers, will be journeying his way by train down to Penzance, Cornwall and then on to the tip of Lands End the next morning to begin a 3-day sponsored ride back to London in aid of the LCEF. Nice! Greg […]
Have a last sip of dutch courage and gulp down some good, long, deep breaths coz here comes the pain! Yup, it’s Donkey Derby time in Clerkenwell again and an important milestone in the frenetic life of the unstoppable juggernaut that has become the Rollapaluza experience.

Following on from the sell-out success of our first run of LCEF hoodies, here we have a new addition to the stable in the shape of the super-fly ZIPPED HOODY as modelled here by our impressively steely-eyed and noble model, Homer. We managed to deliver on a few pre-orders that we took during the Courier Appreciation Day but then finally shipped the remaining Hoodies […]
Full thanks to those involved here but a splendid effort all round to those involved and to all those that turned up making this a most excellent and memorable day – yeah man, let’s do it again soon!
… is going to be on Thursday November 26th. Well, they’ve got their own Appreciation Day in America’s famous America so why not here? Let’s be fair, London’s couriers pioneered the popular use of the fixed-wheel bike as an everyday workhorse back in the early 70’s so why shouldn’t we borrow one of their good ideas back?? (Timeline: 1967 – ‘Buffalo’ Bill Chidley […]
Yupsk indeed, fresh in on what’s left of that warming mediterranean breeze, a brave new batch of LCEF caps solely for your millinery pleasure. Loads of colours to choose from and with a few fresh additions this time around just coz we can. Caps can be found in the usual places for the usual cursory fee of […]
