As part of being a community bike shop we run projects all across the year both at the shop, around the city and even out in the county. All our work us funded by grants, partners or shop sales.
Dates and details for current projects are all on our home page. If you want to find out more or would be interested in working with us get in touch by phone or email. hello@northsidebikes.org 07732546828

Bike Recycling
Many old bikes are often put into landfill instead of properly being recycled. We take bikes in any condition and either recycle them for parts, fix them up to sell affordably* or use them as part of another project.
*The profits from these sales go towards supporting our community projects.
Bike Maintenance Classes
Over the year we run various workshops teaching people how to look after and fix their own bike. Head to our learn to fix page to find out more

COMING 2025 - WATCH THIS SPACE
Dr. Bike
Our most popular event, free minor repairs and safety checks. We run these sessions both at the shop and in many other places including education facilities, local businesses and for NHS staff at local hospitals.
Led Rides
Our rides run in the summer months and are part of the Big Bike Revival. They are open to everyone and are just a relaxed way to spend time on a bike while exploring the city.
Free Bikes
Working with the bike project we have helped to give away a number of bikes this year to refugees. Starting in 2025 we will be expanding our free bike program through the bikes for schools project.
