A community bike workshop based at Fromehall Mill off Cainscross Road that turns old bikes into opportunities for young and disadvantaged people, whilst promoting sustainability, creativity, friendship and green, healthy transport.
They don't offer servicing, but they instead invite you into their workshop to use their tools and help, and thus learn to fix your bike yourself!
