A Bristol bike company has launched a £625,000 bond offer on Triodos Bank's crowdfunding platform.
Temple Cycles, which designs and builds sustainable bikes from its workshop on Brookfield Trading Estate, said the cash raised would be used to grow the business and fund investment in new e-bike activities.
The company was formed in 2014 and uses traditional steel as an alternative to more conventional materials such as carbon fibre, which it says is harder to recycle. The steel comes from 70% recycled sources and can be recycled at the end of its life. The business now has more than 15,000 customers across 30 countries.
