This week we surprised two of our young people on work experience with the gift. They have both been working with our mechanic Adam since the summer but didn't know the last bike & trike they worked on were theirs to keep!
Merry Christmas - we hope these wheels bring you lots of happy miles!

When your Community Christmas bike ride route ended up being unexpected #bikeart
Tribute to the Muppet Christmas Carol anyone?
🤣😂🤣😂

We've been out to reccy the route for our Christmas Lights Ride tomorrow and it couldn't be any more sparkly!
Make sure you wrap up warm, bring your lights and good cheer to join us at 6pm tomorrow.

YCBH were able to re-gift this bike to the Velodrome, ensuring it goes to someone who may not be in a position to buy one, so they can have it as a short term rental until they can get their own.
Who knows, maybe a budding Olympic cyclist might just start out on hub bike #1377? 3/3

Fortunately we were able to partner with the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales who have lots of keen young cyclists coming through their sport programme. 2/3

Wheely Great Wednesday - supporting the next cycling superstar! 🌟
In July we were gifted a Raleigh Equipe track bike. These bikes are a bit special, designed for use on a velodrome with a fixed gear and no brakes, this bike needed a different sort of next life to most of our pre-loved bikes. 1/3
