Bristol and South Gloucestershire Councils are leading on the Cycle City Project, working with Bath & North East Somerset and North Somerset to promote cycling across the region.
The Community Bike Workshop in Kingswood takes old bikes of all styles, sizes and conditions and gives them a complete makeover so that they're ready to ride.
The Workshop are looking for donation of bikes, tools and spares of anything bike related.
The majority of work is done by young people taking part in bike maintenance courses under close supervisionof a qualified bike mechanic. The bikes are then distributed in the community to those who need them most.
