Providing refurbished bikes to communities that need them the most

Shifting Gears is the flagship community project of The Bike Station, which supports individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented or excluded from sustainable travel programmes.

 

With funding from our Smarter Choices, Smarter Places programme, The Bike Station's Shifting Gears initiative are able to offer those most vulnerable in society access to a refurbished bike, cycling lessons, maintenance classes, social rides and employability opportunities.

 

Supported by Transport Scotland, Smarter Choices, Smarter Places is Paths for All's behaviour change programme encouraging people to travel actively and sustainably by walking, wheeling, cycling and using public transport.
