Bikes are on sale open 7 days a week from 10am to 4pm
There are many reasons why Action 21's Bicycle Workshop, based at the Re-Useful Centre, is so exciting:
1. We make it possible for people to cycle, thereby reducing their carbon footprint and transport costs, by providing cheap quality bikes to members of the public. Prices for good adult bikes start at £30, roughly 20% of their original price. This doesn't reflect the qaulity of the bikes on sale - which have all been thoroughly checked by properly trained mechanics who give their time voluntarily for Action 21.
2. On top of the environmental benefits, riding a bike is a fantastic way of improving personal fitness.
3. We're taking a stand against a throw-away culture by encouraging re-use. All of our bikes have been donated to us by and would otherwise have been thrown away. Our fully-trained volunteer mechanics give them a thorough overhaul and a new lease of life.
4. Our volunteer programme provides training and gives people a skill. Volunteers have included those on work placements, wanting to learn a skill and give their time to charity, and retired mechanics wanting to give something back.
5. The money generated from bike sales helps sustain the other charitiable activities of Action 21.
Dr Bike
We can provide a Bicycle MOT service for your event, school eco-travel day or office. Typically we take servicing stands and tools and consumables and we set up a temporary workshop for the public to bring their bikes for a full check-over including minor repairs and adjustments. The service is free to the public although ask for a small donation and generally charge the organisers a nominal fee.
To book Dr Bike for your event, please download the booking form and return to info@action21.co.uk or drop it in to the Re-Useful Centre.
