Recyke Y'bike
Recyke y' Bike's core activity is refurbishing bicycles, donated largely by the public, by a team of enthusiastic volunteers and paid mechanics. Some are sold to raise funds, others are given away as community referral bikes, with those in the worst condition being recycled and all useable parts saved. We also train people in cycling and bike maintenance skills.
