Our mission
We’re a charity that transforms lives and the environment through cycling
Hello, we're Life Cycle
We work with people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds at every stage of their cycling journey: From learning to ride, to building a career in the cycle industry.
We know that with the right support, anyone can benefit from bikes. We help thousands of people each year by providing:
- Bikes that are safe, smooth and fun to ride.
- Cycle training for all ages and abilities.
- Cycling activities for people with additional needs.
- Industry-accredited training for the public - and people in prison.
Why are we here?
Our society is facing some serious problems: The climate emergency, rising inequality and public health crises need bold action, now.
It can be hard to know how to make a difference. But the answers don’t have to be complicated or expensive. We believe in practical solutions - and small steps with big effects.
If more of us cycle, we’ll see huge impacts on public health, community well-being and our natural environment. So, we’re here to help more people get cycling! We’ve been doing it since 1999 and we help more people each year.
Who do we help?
Everyone! We’re here to show that cycling can be safe, practical and affordable for most short journeys: No matter who you are, what you do or what you look like. We create positive spaces where people can be themselves, develop and reach their goals.
We're all about empowering people on their cycling journey.
