Refurbing bikes

Our expert mechanics refurb donated bikes and sell them in our Edinburgh and Perth branches. Our dedication to keeping bikes in circulation means our refurbed bikes come with a much lower carbon, waste and water footprint than a new bike. 

Helping communities

As a charity, we use the revenue from our sales and services to fund our community programme which focuses on using cycling to help those most vulnerable in society. 

Developing skills

We offer a range of services such as Fix Your Own Bike, Velotech qualifications and maintenance classes to give our local communities the tools they need to get into cycling.

Ways to get involved

Donate your bike

We accept the good, bad, and even the ugly, any bikes or bike parts and accessories are acceptable.
Our mechanics evaluate each bike donated. Some bikes are refurbished, while others are used for parts. So, either way, your bike avoids the landfill and supports a sustainable circular economy.

Shifting Gears

Our flagship community programme operates across Edinburgh and Perth. Check out what Kaden, a Shifting Gears participant from Perth, had to say about the project.
