About us
We run a range of services throughout the week which you can drop in to or you can book us in.
Second Hand Bike Sales: Get in touch via this page to see what we have on offer, adult bikes start from £50 and kids bikes from £10, we also sell new accessories and equipment such as lights and locks. All income goes back to the charity. Do pop in at one of the sessions below if you want to come and see the workshop in action and have a look at bikes.
Wednesday evening 6-8pm: Adult Bike Workshop (by appointment only at the moment) - come along with your bike and our volunteers will help you check and repair it so you can do it yourself in the future. We charge for new parts needed but also have loads second hand part which can be cheaper. We ask for a suggested donation of £10 per hour for your time at the workshop, although we are happy to be paid in other ways such as cake or volunteering. We also work with adults with learning difficulties at these sessions so please be patient with us.
Thursday 10pm-5pm: Workshop open including Youth Bike Workshop after school. Our junior mechanics are on hand to work on recycling bikes and fixing other kids bikes, new young people always welcome to come a learn about bike maintenance and learn new skills. Do send us a message for more information about this session, they can be pretty chaotic but lots of fun.

Information about the group rides
We run Adult Social rides on Tuesday mornings, mostly for local people and volunteers once a week. These are fairly short and easy paced designed for people who are just getting into cycling and enjoy the social aspect. These must be booked on as are often over subscribed, particularly with Covid regulations limiting our numbers.
We also run youth led rides in the school holidays with our junior mechanics and other local young people we work with. These are by invitation only and for young people we know well.
