Cycle Torbay Community Interest Company (CIC) is a social enterprise offering cycling focussed educational and healthy activities.
We support communities to take care of their bicycles through pop up bike maintenance sessions and Learn-To-Fix workshops where we teach people of all ages a range of skills including how to care for their own equipment. We also intercept bikes heading to landfill, repairing them and distributing them back into the community.
We build confidence through inviting people to participate or lead our social bike rides.
A Social Bike Ride can be anywhere from 500 metre to 20m miles. The Social Bike Rides begin at a prearranged starting point and end at a café or venue where participants can chat.
We support improved health and wellbeing through building a friendly welcoming community around cycling, helping to build connections, developing skills, providing volunteer opportunities and helping to protect the environment.
*For Bicycle Donations – Please click the ‘Contact Us’ button below – we will be able to arrange a convenient drop-off point. In some cases, we can collect bicycle donations, but there is usually a charge for this service. Please also be aware, that we are unable to take bikes that have been stored outdoors for some time – often in this case, the damage caused by outside elements renders the bike uneconomical to repair.
