The bicycles we rescue and re-home are collected up in various ways, including as private donations by individuals, as part of our national ‘trade in’ scheme promoted by several major cycling retailers, or by schools as part of an educational scheme we have now established, working in partnership with GMWDA, RecycleGM & TfGM.
Our team of technicians and volunteers first assess the condition of the bike, then our options include:
- Re-building them for use within the community for cycle training and family rides.
- Breaking them down to be used during maintenance courses.
- Providing a source of transport to job seekers.
- Innovative new design concepts for arts and music projects.
Preloved bike sales are organised fortnightly at our base in Radcliffe. The funds raised by these events help to keep the project running into the future.
