The Urban Cycle Centre is a social enterprise developed to address the issue of bikes being thrown away into landfill sites. Our team of mechanics rescue preloved bikes from the tip, repair and re-home them.
Bikes are donated into our scheme by the general public and are refurbished for re-use by job seekers and apprentices. Monthly bike sales mean revenue is raised in order to cover expenses and refurbish more bikes, which then go through the system and into back into good use again.

“We used the NCA’s fabulous lean to ride with two of our children and they have also had amazing fun on their super summer cycle camp as well. Will definitely be using it again! We have even got a fab preloved bike from them as well. Highly recommended.”
