The Bike Station – find them on Middle Meadow Walk

The Bike Station provide free bicycle health checks, information on their free-to-access community programmes that promote active travel and inclusivity, and have some cargo bikes available for test riding. Their whole business is based on refurbished bikes, taking in donated bikes and using what they can to recycle the rest. They sell second hand parts and offer free bike checks and minor repairs with a focus on encouraging cycling.

All of their bike supplies are donated and all ‘waste’ metal and rubber is recycled. They’re breaking down barriers so more people can cycle with an aim for emission free transport. They also help to teach bike maintenance and operate a free bike library. The whole team walked or cycled to the festival!

Bring your bike to the Meadows Festival and make sure to check them out!
