We headed over to Full Cycle for our group session tonight, where a big list of jobs was waiting for us on the whiteboard.
Spllitting into pairs we tacklrd a variety of tasks: - Helping with recycling cardboard, old tyres, inner tubes, and scrap metal. - Reorganising bikes and sorting numerous bike parts, including stems, handlebars, and pedals.
As we reached the bottom of the list we left behind plenty of tidy space where chaos once reigned. Then finished up with taking a moment to celebrate an amazing achievement - Rachel completing 500 good deeds! What an inspiration - well done!

The team was back at Full Cycle tonight for another productive session. With so many tasks lined up, there was plenty to keep our wheels turning and our hands busy:
We powered through the jobs with time to spare for the highlight of the evening: celebrating a truly monumental achievement! Claire reaching her 200th good deed! What an amazing milestone. Your commitment to GoodGym is absolutely spoke-tacular and truly inspiring!
Well done to everyone for making the session such a success. We will be back again next month.

With a smaller group, likely due to the holiday period, we were glad to have some space to maneuver at Full Cycle tonight! We put our pedal to the metal to handle the assault course of stairs and limited space with a remarkable chain reaction of good deeds.
First, shifting a huge number of bikes, then more shifting bikes, followed by a moving a mountain of rims and wheels. Our final job was to create some inner peace by rolling up countless tubes for recycling. We got a massive amount done and were rewarded with first dibs on some recently donated cycling gear!
A wheelie warm welcome to Louise and well done in your first task and hopefully see you again soon.

Tonight, GoodGym Kingston had a fantastic group run and session at the Full Cycle Bicycle Project! With a great turnout, we were kept busy with a whole host of new jobs and a few we are always happy to help out with:
Our tasks included:
Sorting out the loading bay and re-organising bike parts ๐ ๏ธ
Reordering the upcoming servicing schedule ๐
Giving bikes a good clean โจ
Pumping up countless tyres ๐จ
And a general tidy-up to leave the place gleaming! ๐งน
As we efficiently tackled each job, more things to do were found. We always love to support this amazing project and look forward to being back to tackle some more tasks soon.
A huge welcome to both Shammy and Amy! We hope you enjoyed your first session and will be joining us again soon for more good deeds and great company!

Our monthly visit to Full Cycle this evening was less about cleaning bikes and more about a monumental recycling mission.
The main task involved conquering what seemed like endless piles of inner tubes that had accumulated from just about everywhere. Just when we thought we'd rolled up the last of them, two extra boxes mysteriously appeared!
We also shifted a mammoth pile of tyres and worked on the intricate (and surprisingly satisfying) job of removing spokes from wheels.
The sheer volume of recycling we processed made such a difference, as we left leaving some of the floor clear ready for more.... bikes; maybe?! Full Cycle is such a fantastic cause, doing incredible work in the community and we love the variety of jobs we get to help with; sometimes we even learn a bit about bikes ๐. Until next Tyre-time, thanks for having us!

This week's group session had the team pedalling into action to support Full Cycle with a hands-on task that wheely put our teamwork to the test. The mission? Clear out the side of the building - a tight, dark alleyway crammed with wheel rims, old bikes, and a jungle of brambles.
We formed a human chain to tackle the task, shifting rims, tangled bikes, and debris whilst clearing, sweeping and snipping. The overgrown brambles were quite an eye sore for some but the real challenge was carefully restacking everything back into the space, making it some what more accessible. Definitely a bit different to some of the usual tasks at this community project and what better way to spend an hour; a game of bike-themed Tetris in a confined space where we found plenty of energy to complete the challenge.
Congratulations to Luke who was debuting his new black t.shirt!
