More about Bikeworks All Ability Cycling
Bikeworks is a social enterprise and a community cycling hub that utilises cycling as a medium to deliver a combination of social, economic and environmental outcomes on a local level. Bikeworks focuses on the individual and how cycling can help improve their well being, health and access to affordable transport. Wider goals are through this to reduce carbon emissions locally through reduction in motorised transport due to increased uptake of cycling.
As an enterprise Bikeworks provides a range of services to organisations and also provides affordable bike retail & repair services to the public. Bikeworks improves lives by enabling access to safe, affordable cycling for all (targeting in particular groups with low uptake of cycling e.g – disabilities, certain ethnic minority groups, young women), enables disadvantaged individuals to train and gain employment in the growing cycling industry in London, promotes cycling as a sustainable form of transport & minimises the environmental impact of cycling by refurbishing bikes and recycling bike parts.
We believe that cycling can provide a range of strong clear social outputs / outcomes, offers value for money for investment versus social benefit / impact and provides an excellent market for a social enterprise to operate successfully in.
