Juliet Morse died on New Year's day after a year-long fight with ovarian cancer. Juliet worked as a cycle instructor for Life Cycle and as a Two's Company volunteer. She was a gentle, lovely person who loved the outdoors and she'll be sadly missed by her family and friends.
The 126th Sea Mills Scouts were very happy to recieve their FREE cycle stands thanks to Bristol City Council and Life Cycle UK's Take A Stand® scheme.
The stands were delivered in July and the Scout leaders installed them over the summer - now the girls and boys have secure storage to encourage them to cycle to their meetings.

Life Cycle's 'Two's Company' project has received a very kind donation of a tandem bicycle, in memory of Adrian Hill, who sadly passed away last year.
Adrian used to work for Life Cycle as a mechanic and was a keen cyclist and lover of all things bicycle, and those close to him were keen for one of his beautifully kept bikes to help support our tandem rides for young people and adults who are blind and visually impaired.
Huge congratulations to regular "Two's Company" back-rider Steve Ewens, who has successfully completed a gruelling Lands End to John O Groats ride on a tandem piloted by his brother - raising almost £4,000 for Life Cycle along the way!
Steve is one of the many blind or visually-impaired people who come out cycling on the back of a tandem with Life Cycle UK's pioneering Two's Company project. The project enlists the help of sighted volunteers to offer a regular programme of healthy, sociable group tandem rides to those who are unable to ride a bike independently.
Life Cycle UK held a “Cycle and Active Travel Hustings” between Bristol’s parliamentary candidates to assess their positions on cycling and sustainable transport in Bristol.
Life Cycle's Inclusive Cycling volunteers have been shortlisted for one of this year's Bristol Green Volunteers Awards in the category of Sustainable Transport.
The awards celebrate the amazing contribution of volunteers to Bristol's status as a European Green Capital, supporting Bristol's green spaces, sustainability and/or wildlife.
Bike Back Derby, Life Cycle's innovative bicycle recycling project, has ridden to the rescue of a schoolboy whose new bike was stolen - just six days after he bought it.
