Emily, Julie, Jana, Dave, and Ffion took on the challenge of cleaning a fleet of muddy bikes. With the bikes clamped and raised, we scrubbed off every speck of dirt.
However, the real fun came when we tried to steer the bikes—someone had loosened the handlebars for storage! Cue a chaotic scene of bikes wobbling in all directions and plenty of laughter.
An hour flew by, and soon we were admiring a stack of gleaming bikes, ready for action.
Upstairs we had a wheelie good time; Claire, Ben and Jade moved the vintage bikes to their section and the children’s bikes to another pile to make room for lots of wheels.
We filled our new space with wheels from downstairs and another room stacking them as neatly as possible.
A few wheels still had tyres on so we popped downstairs and learnt how to remove them. It was tiring work but very satisfying when they popped off.
Can’t wait to do it all again soon!
Full Cycle's friendly team believe in the brilliance of the bicycle, and are as passionate about recycling as cycling. Our mission is to refurbish and rehome unwanted bikes, minimising waste, promoting active travel and giving people from all backgrounds access to affordable cycling. To achieve this, we work with local grassroots causes to inspire and support more people into cycling, with a big focus on helping old bikes find new homes with local residents most in need.
