Support Us!
We are fully powered by a team of volunteers from the cycle community in Reading. Any help that we can get goes a long way. If you have some spare change, please support our crowd funder. This will go towards things like purchasing tools, advertising the space and providing as many free workshops as we can.
If you don’t have the funds to support us right now but do want to get involved we’d love to hear from you. We also need rags for the bike repairs, donated bikes, plants and skates and your time and passion so please do reach out 🙂 .
What We Do
We’re here to help people ride safely and confidently. We are currently providing while-you-wait bike repairs, refurbished bike sales, a kids’ bike library, corporate bike repair services, bike hire, an art wall and a secret skatepark and art take over in our basement.
We need bike and skate donations to keep refurbishing. We sell adult bikes, our kids bikes are free and skates are used to hire people who want to try skating for the first time.
Bike Repairs
Whether it’s a quick puncture repair or a full bike service, our friendly mechanics are here to help keep you rolling.
Corporate Bike Repairs
Support your team’s wellbeing and encourage sustainable travel with our convenient corporate bike repair services.
Workshops
Our workshops are all about giving you the confidence and skills to look after your own bike.
On Wednesday evenings we’ll run dedicated workshops teaching core skills to keep your bike on the road.
Bike Parts & Refurbished Bike Sales
We stock a small but essential range of bike parts to help keep you riding safely and comfortably. We also have refurbished bikes for sale!
Bike Hire
Looking to for a short-term bike rental? We got you covered. Just for the day to scoot around on, or for a day, bring it back the next day, or a whole week.
Kids' Bike Library
We offer children a chance to have bikes that grow with them as they grow. Bikes from the kids’ bike library can be borrowed for free and returned when the kid(s) outgrow them. We ask for a £40 donation, or what you can afford.
