Well done to Abbey and Gerard, TO's youth workers, hope they're ready to get back on a bike on Monday night!

We know them!! Our friends in Benwell, who we often share activities with.

Please donate online to help our groups get active outdoors.

We're proud of our youth work in Newcastle and South Shields, getting young people to enjoy their outdoor spaces and try new activities. We received an award from the Tyne and Wear High Sherif in March, for our work engaging young people in positive activities.

However, funding to keep our youth work activities going is extremely hard to find, yet we know youth work works!

Please support our Youth Workers, Abbey and Gerard, on their Wooler Wheel on Old Bikes challenge, to raise funds for our youth work activities.

Our Raiders' leaders, Abbey and Gerard are off on a ride to raise funds for our charity.

While we're used to seeing them both racing BMXs or scaring themselves on mountain bike trails, we're looking forward to seeing them on a couple of old bikes from T O bike. Get them legs going! GEARS! GEARS! USE YOUR GEARS!!!

If you fancy helping us out, literally, please get in touch. Support and training is always provided.

Something's broken! Not us of course, we're doing great, helping our local community with cost effective reliable repairs and servicing, as well as affordable refurbished bikes for sale. It's called a circular economy, we help the local community and they help us to help more. We support young people who become young volunteers and then become our future staff, who support more young people, who then volunteer... The cycle continues, if you'll pardon the pun.

However, we're in need of a little more help at the moment. Particularly Volunteer Bike Mechanics to help out in the shop. There are other roles too, so if you fancy helping us to help others please call in to the shop, get in touch via our social media pages or website.

We'll be heading up for this event, sadly without any shiny old school BMXs, unless anyone has one in their shed or garage they'd like to donate? We're looking forward to a great day.

We're chuffed to be part of TO's youth work offer on Tyneside, helping young people enjoy a great growing up outdoors.

We're looking forward to this. Our last official race, but will there be any trophies for us?

We had a great day. Very muddy and slippy in places, but some of the trails providing some great rides. It was a very quiet drive back to South Shields, reflecting the tiredness in the group.

A foldy

Foldy roll! We don't get many folding bikes, and they don't hang around for long.

They're a great choice for those lucky people with camper vans / motor homes, or just those with a little less space to store a full size bike. They're also really handy for commuting, as they can save time and money at either end of your train/metro journey.

Don't worry, we will of course show you how to fold and unfold your bike.
