The latest bike maintenance session is now live, if you wish to book onto the course.

Details are below!

This short course will give you the opportunity to better understand your bicycle and to learn how to deal with problems such as punctures and under-performing brakes. We will also discuss chain maintenance and how to be both comfortable and efficient on the bike.

Its National volunteer week this week, so here’s a quick post to remind everyone how lucky we are, to have such an amazing and talented team of volunteers with us at Bren Bikes.

We have a team of 14 volunteers, from all walks of life. Some are ex beneficiaries, scientists, skilled technicians, social work backgrounds, accountants…..
All bring their own unique and amazing set of skills to us at Bren bikes.

In total, they have accumulated almost 30,000 hours of volunteering, since the workshop first opened.
With some of those original volunteers, still working with us today.

Here’s a few memories and pics of the team.

From us all at the Bren project, thankyou so so much.

Here at Bren Bikes, we proudly recycle all inner tubes and tyres.

Thanks so much to Velorim, for making the recycling of tyres possible, and for this acknowledgement.
420kg of tyres saved from landfill - so far!!!

(We can recycle your inner tubes for free, however for tyres there is a small surcharge).
