West Lothian Bike Library is keeping local people moving by providing a helping hand with free bike repairs and maintenance
It’s one of 300 bike shops and projects in Scotland taking part in the Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme, which offers £50 towards the repair or service of a bike, non-standard cycle or manual wheelchair.
The scheme is aimed at people who would otherwise struggle to afford to have their bike serviced or repaired. It aims to get bikes out of sheds and garages across the country and back in use.
Some 30,000 people are set to benefit from the scheme, which is funded by
Transport Scotland and administered by Cycling UK.
The started providing the service at the beginning of August 2020
David Liddell from the bike librayr said: “We are delighted to be providing basic service and repairs to people in West Lothian as part of the Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme.
“We’ve had a really good response which shows there is a real need here. People want to exercise safely and to maintain social distancing so cycling is ideal for that. As well as keeping fit and healthy, they can also use their bikes for essential journeys like getting to work or the shops while avoiding public transport.”
Shona Morris, Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme programme manager at Cycling UK, added:“It’s fantastic to see so many bike shops and community organisations getting involved in this scheme. The Covid crisis has hit many people hard, so we know it can be difficult to pay for essential bike repairs right now. We’d encourage those people to dig their bike out of the shed or garage, get it fixed up and get riding again.”
Further bookings are now being taken by contacting them by eMail only on info@ wlbikelibrary.co.uk.
