Superstorm Sandy devastated so many areas in New York City and surrounding environs, that many companies and celebrities are chipping in to help out with the relief.
Brooklyn bicycle company Affinity Cycles and Staten Island’s Raekwon of the Wu Tang Clan have announced Ride4NY, a not for profit group formed to raise funds, awareness and rebuilding strategies for those affected by Sandy.

This week, Ride4NY, Affinity and Raekwon will be hosting a benefit concert, custom bicycle auctions and a group ride – all aimed to raise money for those hardest hit by the storm. Affinity Cycles will be distributing the funds through grass roots relief efforts on Staten Island and Rockaway in the form of pre-paid credit cards. Members of Ride4NY, Affinity and Raekwon will be hand delivering these pre-paid credit cards door to door shortly after the auction, just in time for the holiday season. The bicycle will come in the typical Wu Tang black and yellow colorways.
