Important Update!!

When a bike is booked in for repair, we will endeavour to fix it as quickly as possible. We will then ring the customer to let them know it is ready for collection.

We will ring again if the bike has not been collected or if the customer has not been in touch. Due to restricted space, we request that bikes are collected promptly. If a customer is unable to collect, we ask that they contact the shop to make arrangements.

If we have not heard anything after 3 weeks from the first phone call, bikes will be treated as abandoned.

We need your help! We urgently need more assistance in the shop to help with customers and with admin.

If you have a couple of hours a week free to help us, please get in touch. You don’t need to know about bikes, just to be a welcoming face for our customers, and we will provide you with knowledge and support.

Many thanks in anticipation!

🚲 Looking for something fun to do over the summer holidays? Why not head out on a family bike ride!

If you or someone in your family needs a bike, we currently have a selection available. Please note that although we have bikes in stock, they're not quite ready to ride yet. All of our bikes are donated, so our stock is always changing—we never know what might come through our doors next!

Pop into the shop to see what's available and reserve a bike before it's gone.

🌞 Get ready for summer adventures while supporting reuse, sustainability, and your local community!

This is a reminder that we do not work on electric bikes/scooters.

Even if the motor is disconnected, we still won’t be able to work on the bike.

Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover e-bikes/scooters, so we’re unable to take them in.

Thank you for understanding.

🔧 Lee's Journey

Lee has a learning disability and has become a valued member of our workshop team through his dedication and willingness to learn.

He particularly enjoys stripping bikes down and has developed his skills with the help of visual guides, a picture-based communication folder, and a supportive learning environment.

A special thank you to Les, whose patience, encouragement, and hands-on support have helped Lee build confidence and take on a wider range of tasks.

Lee's journey shows how the right support and opportunities can help people develop new skills and reach their potential. 💙

🚲 Benji's Journey

Benji joined us many years ago with a real passion for bikes and a desire to learn more about cycle maintenance.

While he already had some basic skills, building confidence and consistency sometimes took extra time and practice. Through patience, hands-on learning, and his own determination, Benji has developed into a valued and skilled member of the workshop.

Today, Benji can:

🔧 Change an inner tube safely and independently
🔧 Strip down bikes with accuracy and care
🔧 Support and encourage others in the workshop
🔧 Tackle tasks repeatedly until he has mastered them

Benji's journey shows that progress isn't always about speed—it's about perseverance, opportunity, and believing in your ability to learn and grow.

We're incredibly proud of everything he has achieved and the positive example he sets every day. 💙
