Bike Generation
Bike Generation is Life Cycle UK’s youth project, which has been made possible thanks to a 3 year grant from Childen in Need.
Young people in Bristol can attend bike repair and maintenance sessions, cycle rides and mountain bike/off-road trips if they can get themselves along to their local Adventure Playground. Easton, St Paul’s, Windmill Hill and Lockleaze playgrounds are all participating in this bike-centred project.
Young people can help repair & acquire bike maintenance skills by working with one of Life Cycle’s qualified cycle mechanics. They can bring their own bike along for repair or learn on one of the playground’s bikes.
We also run bike rides led by qualified instructors which explore Bristol via the quiet rides & cycle paths in and around the city. For further fun, we have mountain bike rides taking place locally in Ashton Court & Leigh Woods and trips further afield to the Forest of Dean.
These bike-related activities are an ideal way to encourage young people to cycle more, take responsibility for the maintenance of their bikes and acquire practical skills that they will have for a lifetime!
