Our projects
When you use one of our services at Life Cycle, you’re helping us to support the wider community.
We run multiple projects that break down barriers to cycling and help people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to access the benefits of the bicycle. Whether that’s providing bikes for refugees, running tandem adventures for the visually impaired, or providing prisoners with training so they can turn their lives around, your support will help us to change people’s lives.
