Need a low cost bike? Want to start cycling? Come along to Life Cycle UK's latest low-cost refurbished bike sale on Wednesday 12th December!

Starting at 11am, by the fountains opposite the Hippodrome on St Augustine's parade, we will have a selection of quality used and refurbished bicycles for sale - with prices starting from around £50 for adult bikes. The sale will run until 2pm – although we may end earlier if all bikes sellout quickly.

All the bikes are from our Bike Back project; a bike recycling scheme run by Life Cycle UK in collaboration with HMP Bristol and funded by the Big Lottery. Our trained mechanics work with prisoners to refurbish unwanted, abandoned and donated bikes. The scheme gives old bikes a new lease of life and also provides the prisoners with valuable skills to help them re-integrate into society. All the bikes are in sound mechanical order and have been professionally checked by our Cytech trained mechanic.

Have an old bike you don't want anymore? Why not give it a new lease of life - we will also be collecting donations of unwanted bicycles to fix up. Just bring yours down to the sale and drop it off.
