Barnsley Bike Works are launching their Big Bike Recycle scheme to get residents moving on two wheels. 

The team have been taking their mobile hub offer around our communities since launching last month and the response from our residents has been positive. 

Now they want to try and help as many people as possible to begin cycling and support people of all ages to go cycling for leisure, to get around their community or get to work. 

The bikes donated will be refurbished and put back into communities and projects. If a bike is beyond repair, it will be broken down and any parts reused to refurbish other donations. 

• Drop in to the Bike Works HQ 

• Come and visit the team at a Bike Works community bike check 

• Book an appointment for collection 

Councillor James Higginbottom, Cabinet spokesperson for Environment and Highways, said: "With the Olympics taking place over the past fortnight and preparations for Barnsley hosting the Tour of Britain race well underway, cycling is definitely on the brain so it's the perfect time for us to launch the Big Bike Recycle scheme.

"If you have an old bike in the shed that you no longer need or want but has some life left in it, please consider donating it to Barnsley Bike Works as it could make a huge difference to someone else."
