The new Frome Community Bike Project will recycle donated bicycles, teach bike maintenance skills and cycle confidence classes, offer a shared workshop and volunteering opportunities. People can come and use the workshop and tools to work on their own bikes, share skills or pay one of our mechanics to do the work for you, there is an option for everyone!  

The project is a non-profit organisation set up by a team of volunteers for the benefit of the community. All profits from the project will support Frome's Missing Links, the local charity linking up traffic-free walking and cycling routes in and around Frome. Emma Parker from Frome Community Bike Project says "There is a real appetite in Frome for a community bike hub where people can buy reconditioned bikes, learn how to fix their own bikes and feel safer cycling. We're really excited about sharing skills, building confidence and supporting our community to feel empowered to use bikes for transport and leisure." 

The team will be out and about in September, come along and meet them at the following times: Saturday 10th September 2-5pm at Big Green Weekend in Rode Memorial Hall, Sunday 11th September 12-3pm at Cycle Sunday outside the Cheese and Grain running the bike jumble, Dr Bike and obstacle course, Sunday 18th 12-4pm September at the Lions Ride Kids Ride event at the Old Showfield, Saturday 24th September 10-2pm in the Westway shopping centre offering free Dr Bike bike safety checks.
