Recyke Y'Bike

Recyke Y’Bike is a charity based in Newcastle upon Tyne and Chester le Street. We are passionate about sustainability and getting people on bikes and believe that bikes are great for getting people from A to B in a way that is affordable, environmentally friendly, healthy and fun. We pursue this by refurbishing donated bikes which are then either sold in our shops to maintain our charitable objectives, or donated via our referral scheme.
