OUR PROJECTS

Our vision is to become mobile and the money we raise from Aviva Crowdfunder will enable us to take our charity out into the community - a mobile Cornwall Life Recycle - enabling us to reach people of ALL ages in rural areas, areas of deprivation and other areas where transport and access to a bike is limited. Through the mobile project we will build cycling communities, improve physical and mental health and social inclusion whilst also encouraging more people to make more journeys by bike.

Would you like the opportunity to learn some new skills and be able to fix your bike yourself? We regularly offer you the chance to learn basic maintenance for your bike for free* at various locations around Cornwall. - helping you keep your bike running smooth and safe and also saving you money on repairs and maintenance,   

​

Topics covered**:

1. Carrying out an M check on your bike and ensure it is set up correctly.

2. Fix a puncture

3. Remove and replace a rear wheel

4. Check brakes and pads/cables

5. Replace brake pads

6. Gear Indexing and hangar check

*Although our sessions are free to attend we do ask for donations for any parts used and also run a 'pay it forward' scheme - so if you feel you can donate something towards the costs that means we can offer others the chance to learn new skills too.

**Not all topics may be covered in one session
