Meet Henry, taking on London to Brighton for The Bike Project, with Holly helping him smash his fundraising target! 💛⁠
⁠
“The past few years have been tough for everyone, but none more so than for refugees.”⁠
⁠
Together, Henry and Holly are supporting people as they build a new life - and the work The Bike Project does “really helps ease the burden refugees face”.⁠
⁠
Every mile Henry rides will help raise vital funds to get more bikes to refugees and people seeking asylum. 🌟⁠
⁠

💚 Another successful donation session!⁠
⁠
Thanks to everyone who continues to donate their unwanted bikes. Your donations make sessions like this possible and help more people get riding.⁠
⁠
At a recent session, Zamir found his perfect match: a Giant Rock that fits him perfectly and will open up so many opportunities. 🙌⁠
⁠
A big thank you to the person who donated this bike - it’s now got a new rider and plenty more miles ahead. 🚲⁠
⁠
It’s also a great example of why quality bike donations matter. Bikes that are in good condition, rust-free and have working parts take less time to repair, helping us get more bikes ready for their new riders.⁠
⁠
Got an unwanted bike in good condition? Donate it at a drop-off point near you via the link below and help someone get moving. ⁠

Meet Mark and Hossein, two Bike Buddies who recently headed out for a ride through South East London. 🙌⁠
⁠
Mark has been a Bike Buddy for a few years, and this time he showed Hossein a new side of London. They rode through Crystal Palace, explored some of the area’s parks and enjoyed discovering somewhere new together.⁠
⁠
Sometimes, it’s not just about having a bike. It’s about having someone to ride with. 💚⁠
⁠
It’s thanks to you that rides like this are possible- your support helps create more opportunities for people to get out, explore, connect and enjoy the city on two wheels.⁠
⁠
So, a big thank you to Mark for being such a brilliant Bike Buddy, and to everyone who supports our work. 🚲

15,000+ bikes. 🤯⁠
⁠
That’s enough bikes to stack 1.55 x the height of Everest - and over 200 tonnes of bikes kept out of landfill. 🌍⁠
⁠
But we’ve got our sights set higher. Help us reach space! 🚀⁠
⁠
Every bike we donate helps refugees and people seeking asylum access education, places of worship, essential services and their local communities - giving people more freedom and independence along the way. ❤️⁠
⁠
Got a bike you no longer need? We’re looking for bikes that are rust-free, have working brakes and no cracks in the frame. We have drop-off points across London, Kent, Oxford, the West Midlands and Manchester.⁠
⁠
Hit the link below to find your nearest drop-off point and register your bike. Super simple! 🚲⁠

What if your commute could have a bigger impact? 🚲⁠
⁠
This September, turn your miles into something meaningful with Refugee Routes.⁠
⁠
Choose your challenge:⁠
💪 25km⁠
🔥 50km⁠
🤩 100km⁠
⁠
Cycle, run, walk or wheel it - over one day or spread it across a few. You could even turn your regular commute into part of your challenge.⁠
⁠
Every mile you take helps raise money to support refugees and people seeking asylum to access freedom and independence through cycling.⁠
⁠
And there’s a little extra reward for your fundraising! Everyone who raises £250 or more - enough to fund a refurbished biek for a refugee - will receive a Refugee Routes medal!! 🏅⁠
⁠
And if you can’t take part yourself, why not send this to someone who could? 👀⁠

🚲 1,418 bikes donated in one year!⁠
⁠
Between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026, we donated 1,418 refurbished bikes to refugees and people seeking asylum across 9 regions of the UK.⁠
⁠
Every bike helps someone travel independently, connect with their community and feel more at home in the area they now live in.⁠
⁠
This milestone was only possible because of everyone who donated a bike, volunteered, partnered with us or supported our work.⁠
⁠
Thank you for helping make every ride possible. 💙

Sound familiar?⁠
⁠
This summer, swap packed platforms and delayed buses and trains for fresh air and two wheels. ☀️🚲⁠
⁠
Riding your own bike means no waiting for the next train, no squeezing into crowded buses and no standing on a sweltering platform. Just a breeze on your face and a commute that starts and ends on your schedule. ⁠
⁠
If you're commuting through or living around South East London, pop into our Deptford workshop to test ride before you buy. Prefer to shop from home? Order online because we also deliver across England, Scotland and Wales. ✨⁠
⁠
🎟️ Use code SUMMER15 to get 15% off bikes over £300 until 16 August.⁠ Shop via this link:⁠ https://shop.thebikeproject.co.uk/collections/bikes?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=summer26
⁠
Every bike you buy also helps fund a donated bike for a refugee or person seeking asylum.⁠
