About

A place to learn, to volunteer, to buy a bike, get your bike fixed, to get involved. For anyone who rides a bike!

Story

The Bristol Bike Project aims to provide free bicycles to underprivileged groups that would not otherwise have the opportunity to own a bicycle. People that would like a bike must be prepared to come to our workshop space and to work alongside us overhauling their own bike which they may then take away with a quality lock and lights. All of our bikes are donated to us by the general public and are either unwanted and unused or require more work than they are worth. We want this to be a sustainable project with the emphasis being about helping people help themselves. We therefore encourage and promote the learning of new skills and skill-sharing amongst peer groups, an increased awareness of how bicycles work and aim to prevent as much as possible from going to landfill by recycling everything that we possibly can! if you have any unwanted bikes or would like any further information, please email james & colin at: [email protected] thanks!
