The Bike for Good team is made up of cycling enthusiasts including professional bike mechanics, & a dedicated outreach team to deliver community projects.
Why the community needs usWe benefit the community by teaching them how to cycle and how to fix and maintain their own bikes. We provide low-cost refurbished bikes to make cycling accessible to more people, and all the support necessary for people to confidently ride their bikes around Glasgow and beyond.
Our impact on the communityIn the last year alone we have helped 498 people learn how to cycle, diverted 1699 bikes from landfill by refurbishing them, and supported 69 young people to gain a City & Guilds Cycle qualification.
