bikes_loan – The Canterbury Bike Project

we can loan you a bike to get you moving

To help members of our community become more mobile to help them move back into employment or education we are able to offer bikes on a long term free loan. As we have been for some time, we prioritise NHS staff and keyworkers where we can.

We have over 40 bikes out on free long term loan at any time, and it’s amazing to see the effect in peoples lives that this service is having.

Service will resume shortly...

We are taking a short break. A few weeks to recuperate. Less teaching and repairs, but certainly more riding if we’re allowed. Back in early September. In the meantime you can still contact us here or via the usual social media platforms.

Covid-19 Lockdown 2.0

Unfortunately due to new Government Guidelines surrounding Covid-19 our free evening workshop sessions have now been cancelled for the duration of this lockdown period. Our upcoming Parktool Maintenance Courses have also been postponed through this lockdown period. We will reschedule these as soon as we can.

Our bicycle repair service will still continue through the lockdown period.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Refurbished and Reinvigorated

We have been extremely busy over the last few weeks with our workshop refit. We now have new fire alarms, new intruder alarms, cctv installed and a whole new workshop fitted. We are just waiting on the new tool boards to arrive before opening our doors again. We also now have a new E-bike station for Bosch, Shimano Steps and Di2.
