CYBERSPACE — The Porn Pedallers, a U.K. cycling club, has had their fundraising contributions refused by a major charity at this year’s Prudential RideLondon event.
“The Porn Pedallers is comprised of porn stars, adult performers and people who work in and around the adult industry,” a rep said. “They ride for fun, but they take their cycling seriously.”
The main point of contention is their jerseys have the logo of their primary sponsor, Television X, printed across the front in bold letters.
“Television X has been commissioning hardcore pornography since 1995 and are often cited as ‘the home of British hardcore,’” the rep continued.
The unnamed charity has stated that they didn't want to be affiliated with "hardcore porn" and they are concerned with the possible ramifications of the association.
The rep explained, “The Porn Pedallers are still planning on riding for organizations who are happy to receive support from people who love riding bikes as much as they enjoy riding their co-stars.”
