Free Fixing Fridays
Every Friday at our Sneinton workshop we offer the opportunity to have your bike fixed for free! This project is aimed at anybody who would otherwise struggle to afford to get their bike fixed – this may include people on universal credit or other benefits, refugees and asylum seekers, jobseekers, and others.
Spaces are limited so please book in advance where possible.

Better By Bike
Twice a week, a led bike ride starts at our Lady Bay workshop. It’s a friendly, easy-paced ride for everybody – all you need to bring is yourself and your bike!
For more information please call us on 07783145069 or contact us using the form on our contact page. We are currently looking for confident riders to volunteer to plan and lead rides, if you are interested please get in touch!

Connecting Refugees and Asylum Seekers by bike
At the start of 2023 we received funding to provide 35 bikes to refugees and asylum seekers around Nottingham. In 2024 we secured Lottery funding to provide a further 150 bikes.
We are working with the Nottingham Refugee Forum and the Nottingham Ukrainian Cultural Centre to connect with people who need bikes, as well as giving them the locks, lights and helmets they need.
