Back2Bikes for Quality Used Bicycles & Repairs
Back-2-Bikes was initially funded by a grant from the lottery "SEED" fund and opened officially in June 2004. Since then we have been steadily building up a reputation for reasonably priced bike sales and repairs.
Our key objective is to offer supported volunteer opportunities to people who have difficulty in getting a job. We do this through the repair of unwanted bicycles, which are then sold on to the public to help defray costs. We also offer servicing and repairs to customers´ bikes and sell used parts to people who want to do their own repairs. We have helped many volunteers, several of whom have moved on to paid work. Our volunteers come from many diverse backgrounds, which include ethnic minorities, former offenders, people with learning disabilities and people recovering from long-term mental illness. In addition, we have a number of retired volunteers who have had a lifelong interest in cycling and bring additional skills to our team. |
