Community bike reuse schemes
Ride On
Ride On are a social enterprise, based in Exeter, that take unwanted bikes and restore them to ensure they are roadworthy. These bikes can be then purchased at a reduced price.
They also run a variety of sessions including bike confidence for adults and children and courses on maintaining your bike.
The Bike Bank
The Bike Bank is based in Exeter and teaches practical bike repair skills to vulnerable adults and, at the same time, refurbishes bikes and increases the supply of affordable bikes.
