Who are Quad Lock (if you don’t know already)
Our story started with wanting to explore the world. Well, at least some of it. With Australia as their backyard, Quad Lock founders Chris and Rob rode bikes on empty roads, explored mountains on foot, and deserts in the car. But they didn’t have total confidence taking their phones out there. So, they did something about it.

A few years after the release of the first iPhone, Quad Lock was born. And a Kickstarter campaign in 2011 launched a premium iPhone mount – loved by cyclists worldwide. The range has since expanded to other pursuits, with enthusiasts all over exploring more with their phones securely in sight.

Quad Lock: Every Day. Every Adventure.
The motto? Adventure. Whether on bike, boat, car, a trip down the road, or expedition across the globe, Quad Lock makes the experience better. And we build reliable gear, so you can go anywhere. No matter your device. No matter your pursuit.

Product: The confidence to explore.
At Quad Lock, we pay attention to the things that count – design and durability. Our products withstand extreme weather, falls, and impact, featuring a patented dual-stage locking mechanism and secure mount tailored to your activity. From bike to boat and car to foot, all you need to remember is this; our products do what they say they will.

Our world: Our environment.
A lot has changed since we started in 2011. But one thing remains true. Our world needs looking after. We support World Bicycle Relief, providing bikes to developing African communities so they can access education and healthcare. So far, we’ve donated over 1000 bikes and just committed to doubling our efforts.

We’re also removing plastic from our packaging, using 100% FSC paper with soy ink, and reducing carbon emissions to have clean and sustainable adventures for years to come.

The Distinguished Gentleman S Ride 2023

Update 22nd May 2023: I completed the West Sussex leg of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride and raised £447 many thanks to those who donated (below) and supported (below).

On Sunday the 21st of May 2023, I’m riding in The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men’s mental health on behalf of Movember.

Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that.

So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I’m asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.

Please reach out and give what you can, help support me on my ride by going to https://www.gentlemansride.com/fundraiser/FrancisDuggan501583 and making a donation.

Many thanks to the following people for helping out:

Triumph Motorcycles for the loan of a gorgeous Triumph Thruxton RS.

Acerbis for under suit armour.

RST and Bell Helmets for the supplying Bell Custom 500 Helmet.

Quad Lock for their brilliant phone case and mount.
