Seeking Cycles!
We are just getting started on our exciting new project, but in order to provide serviced bicycles at affordable prices, we might need some bicycles!
Cycling is a great way to get around our city. But there is nowhere in Leeds that has a range of second-hand bicycles in good condition at an affordable price. We are hoping to change this!
If you’ve got a bicycle you no longer need or want, then it would be of great help to us.
We are also looking for bicycle parts and tools, so we welcome donations of these as well.
If you think you could help in any other way; collecting bicycles or publicising the project for example, then please get in touch!
Please bring it along to the Pedallers’ Arms workshop, open to the public Mon, Weds, Thurs 4-8pm, Sat 12-4pm, on Mabgate Green, LS9 7DS, where you can repair your bicycle with help, if needed, from the mechanics.
If you are able to donate a bicycle, then please bring it along to a Pedallers’ session saying it is for Leeds Bike Mill. If you are unable to drop it off, then email us on info@leedsbikemill.org and we will try our best to collect. If you are based close to Leeds city centre, we should be able to collect by bicycle trailer at quite short notice, if you live further afield we will be arranging monthly collections in a van. We aim for the first collection to be at the end of April.
If you have any other questions then please give us an email.
