Something for the turbo

Since 2009 a group of friends from the UK have been lighting up the Tour de France and other cycling races with their 'Beefeater Bend' - throwing a party for cycling fans along the roadside. They shot to global fame in 2019 when their Links Rechts video [https://twitter.com/tdfbeefeaters/status/1154477794488799232?s=20] from the Alps went viral overnight attracting national and global press attention. They've won the UCI fans award, preformed on stage at the World Championships and even have a kit collaboration with Stolen Goat and their own merchandise range for which they sell to raise money for charity [https://priestfoundation.org]. What a bunch of guys! Have a listen to their journey and enjoy the stories along the way.
