Bike Repair Workshop

Run by: Bike Project Surrey

Bike Project Surrey is an invaluable local service which teaches the community how to maintain and repair bicycles. Part of Surrey Lifelong Learning Partnership, the Bike Project focuses on reskilling community members, promoting an ethos of care over consumerism. The Bike Project takes bike donations of unwanted or scrap bikes, and refurbishes them for re-sale at affordable prices, making a significant contribution to reducing the amount of scrap metal going to landfill locally. Not only does the team’s model help to cut waste and manufacturing, but also can help to increase the accessibility to active travel for individuals and families who may be excluded from cycling by financial constraints.

The Bike Project therefore provides several benefits to the local community as we look to find ways to hit carbon neutrality and improve the conditions of our air quality in Guildford - with parts of the borough recently named as the worst air pollution in England!

ZERO will be hosting this bike repair workshop during Great Big Green Week, and hope this will become the first of many events in collaboration with Bike Project Surrey.
