Ten GoodGymers geared up this evening at Full Cycle, ready to put their cycling skills to good use, some even arrived on two wheels!

Upstairs we had a wheelie good success moving bikes and then found extra jobs taking off tyres and cutting the spokes off wheels - recycling where possible. Downstairs the team were kept busy recycling inner tubes and cleaning bikes - wiping down frames until they gleamed. The spare parts salvaged and recycling efforts proves that we're not just about fitness, but also about being eco-conscious.

It was a great effort from everyone, and Full Cycle were really grateful for our help. A big shout out to all the GoodGymers who came along. For a moment we almost had a Goodgym Merton takeover… but in Rachel's absence we tried not to poach everyone and of course we are just a big Goodgym happy family getting involved and supporting charities and organisations whenever we can ;)!

Full Cycle Community Bike Project
Help wash donated bikes to be given to local charities

Full Cycle's friendly team believe in the brilliance of the bicycle, and are as passionate about recycling as cycling. Our mission is to refurbish and rehome unwanted bikes, minimising waste, promoting active travel and giving people from all backgrounds access to affordable cycling. To achieve this, we work with local grassroots causes to inspire and support more people into cycling, with a big focus on helping old bikes find new homes with local residents most in need.
