Bikes for all is our newest project which launches in January 2026, and we need your help to make it happen!

We want to massively increase the number of people who we support to start cycling and make it part of their every day lives, which is why we are launching 'Bikes for All Leicester'. The goal is to give as many people as possible a free bike along with a lock, lights and helmet.

 

Already we give away a few bikes each year to people who really benefit from them, but 'Bikes for All' will enable us to help many more. With your support we can make this happen.

How can you help?

-The main thing you can do is contribute to our crowd funder using the button above. Give what you can, but only if you are able to.
