“I see this as a valuable community resource, providing transport to the underprivileged and sharing knowledge about bicycle upkeep. The bicycle is a mainstay of low-carbon active travel. People have fun here and there’s a cooperative spirit that is non-competitive and the element of co-learning is socially valuable." Pat
