Preston Pedals Ltd is a not for profit cooperative organisation with five committed Directors and members bringing different interests and diverse communities together to promote everyday cycling. Our multi-talented team, including expert bike mechanics and British Cycling qualified ride leaders, aims to increase confident and safer cycling in Preston for health and wellbeing, financial and environmental benefits.

We enable people across Preston communities to access and get on their bikes, and reduce waste by re-using and recycling bikes that otherwise might end up in landfill.

We have been kindly supported by grants from Lancashire County Council, Preston City Council, Cycling UK and in the past, Together for the Planet (National Lottery) and personal donations. Additionally, we receive bikes from the public, Active Lancashire and the councils that we refurbish.

Preston Pedals offer three main ways to support everyday cycling:

Fix and Be Practical – come and learn to fix or maintain a bike at our bike repair/maintenance workshops over one or more weeks. Preston Pedals offers skilled mechanics, access to tools and parts to help you refurbish your or a donated bike, learn new skills or re-skill yourself in basic cycle maintenance at various community venues.

Social Rides – join one of our led-rides starting at one of our great parks with trained group leaders and increase your confidence on two wheels. Bring your own bike.

Community Participation - we encourage healthy discussion about everyday cycling connecting diverse communities and all levels of cycling interest through events. By providing donated bikes we help more people to cycle everyday.

We have a very lively Facebook group - Preston Pedals | Facebook
