The Bike Project donates free bikes to refugees and people seeking asylum in London and Birmingham.

CAN I RECEIVE A FREE BIKE FROM THE BIKE PROJECT?

We can give a bike to…

  • People currently seeking asylum in the UK.
  • People who have been granted refugee status (or a positive decision on their asylum claim) in the UK, in the last 2 years.
  • Children or dependents of these groups.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR A BIKE?

  • If you are currently receiving support from a refugee/asylum support organisation, they may be able to help you apply for a bike.
  • If you are not receiving this type of support, you can apply for one at thebikeproject.co.uk/apply – these applications are extremely limited, so you may need to be patient.
  • Once you have successfully applied for a bike, you will be added to our waiting list.
  • When we have a bike ready for you, we will send you a collection appointment via SMS/Whatsapp message to come to our workshop to collect a bike in-person.
  • Please note: we are not able to deliver your bike to your accommodation.

WHAT DO WE GIVE YOU?

  • We will provide you with a second-hand refurbished pedal bike (we cannot provide electric bikes).
  • You will also receive…
    • A helmet
    • A set of lights
    • A lock
    • £5 in cash, towards your travel costs.
