Lift up your local bike shop!
Norwich, United Kingdom
Aim
Help us support our community and greener travel by raising the funds to buy two heavyweight, mechanical bicycle stands.
We're Bicycle Links CIC, an independent bike shop on King Street, Norwich. We're a social enterprise that reinvests back in our community, and we aim to make cycling accessible for everyone 👋🏼
We're raising funds to purchase two mechanical bike stands that can lift electric, cargo, and heavier push bikes, like this...
We offer affordable refurbished bikes and repairs in our shop, and our volunteer workshop powers our social projects.
Every purchase and repair supports our social enterprise, allowing us to run community projects alongside this. As a social enterprise, everything we earn is reinvested in supporting local people in our community.
Our volunteer workshop brings together people from all walks of life to recycle and refurbish donated bikes. Volunteers gain valuable skills and confidence while helping us deliver social projects that benefit those who need it most. The upcycled bicycles are either given to beneficiaries or sold in our shop if they can generate more funds that way.
We need your help to purchase two mechanical bike stands, so we can safely and efficiently repair heavier electric and cargo bikes...
Cargo bikes and electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular. They support families with economical travel to get around and to school, they assist people with mobility issues, improving accessibility, and they support greener, environmentally friendly travel, saving car journeys.
Your donation will help us keep bikes reliable and affordable for those who depend on them, ensuring our shop remains an important resource in the community. Every contribution makes a real difference and will help us continue to empower everyone through cycling.
How will your donation make a difference?
- You’re helping people get around with economical travel. By supporting us, we can keep bike repairs and refurbished bikes affordable so people can get to work, school, and everyday life.
- Your donation goes straight back into the community. We focus on people, not making a profit.
- You’re making repairs safer and more accessible. Cargo bikes and e-bikes are heavy, so proper mechanical stands and equipment mean we can repair them safely and more efficiently.
- You’re supporting learning and skills. Our volunteer workshop teaches people from all backgrounds how to fix bikes. These donations will mean we can use the funds elsewhere in our enterprise, improving the learning environment and support for our volunteers.
- You’re helping us reuse and recycle more bikes. We keep bikes and parts out of landfill by repairing and reusing as much as possible.
- You’re backing environmentally friendly transport. Every bike we fix is one less car journey! Better tools and equipment mean more bikes back on the road.
- You’re helping keep our workshop safe. Lifting heavy bikes without the right kit risks injury - these stands will help protect our staff and volunteers.
- You’re investing in long-term impact. These stands will support thousands of repairs and volunteer hours for years to come!
Every donation helps us support our community and keep bikes on the road. By helping us buy these two bike stands, you’re making our workshop safer, more inclusive, and ready to support more cargo bikes and e-bikes.
If you believe in economical transport, reuse over waste, and community-led projects, we’d love your support. Every donation will help.
