Project purpose

The Bike ReCycle project is a new and exciting community-based cycling project being piloted in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The project, supported by Buckinghamshire Council, allows eligible residents to apply for a FREE quality checked bicycle, with the aim of making Cycling accessible for everyone. 

Team of qualified
bike mechanics

Working in partnership with Otec Bikes, we are able to repair and service donated bicycles ready for a new home. 

“Our offer is simple really, to provide an exceptional level of service and repair. To be on hand to offer our experience and expertise when required to ensure your bicycle is taken care of”. 

Community bike maintenance

Donate a bicycle

In order to make this project work, we’re reliant on the local community donating unwanted bicycles they no longer need or want. If you have a bicycle(s) that has been in your shed for a while now and just collecting cob webs, we’d love to take it off your hands.

The more bicycles that are donated, the more we can provide to individuals in need.

Our collection point is: Otec Bike Shop, located in Halton Tennis Centre, Chestnut End, Halton, Aylesbury HP22 5PD.

The opening hours are: 

Thursday10 am–5 pm
Friday10 am–4 pm

To ensure we are reaching those individuals who would most benefit from a free bicycle, there is an eligibility criteria you must meet in order to be eligible, please see information below.
