A community bike workshop based at Fromehall Mill off Cainscross Road that turns old bikes into opportunities for young and disadvantaged people, whilst promoting sustainability, creativity, friendship and green, healthy transport.
They don't offer servicing, but they instead invite you into their workshop to use their tools and help, and thus learn to fix your bike yourself!

Gloucestershire County Council is running 1 to 1 or small-group Bikeability Cycle Training. Bikeability equips cyclists with the skills, confidence and awareness to become confident road users and is for children and adults.
Bikeability has three levels:
Level 1- Controlling the bike in a traffic-free area.
Level 2- Making a journey on quieter roads with simple junctions.
Level 3- Making a journey on busier roads, riding through more complex junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights, and using multi-lanes.
