Bicycle repairs
Help, my bike is broken!
If you have received a free bike from The Bike Project, we will also fix the bike for free in our workshop if required. Give us a call (02077 338 098) or email us to talk about what you need.
Where can I pump my tires?
Search ‘cycle shop’ on Google Maps to find one near you. Phone them to check that they are open, and ask if you can come in to borrow a bike pump. They would not usually charge you for this.
Other support
COVID-19 health information
Doctors of the World have put together some amazing resources about Coronavirus which they have translated into different languages most commonly spoken by refugees. You can access this information via their website. During this time we know that people may feel more anxious than usual. Please contact us if you would like further information about support services that can help or just for a chat.
