A Cycling Revolution Born in Yorkshire
Bike Libraries emerged from the heart of Yorkshire, rooted in a simple yet transformative idea: every bike deserves a rider, and every rider deserves a bike. As avid cyclists and believers in the power of community, we embarked on a journey to ensure that unused cycling treasures find new homes, and individuals, regardless of their background, can experience the joy of cycling.
Bridging Gaps: The Bike Library Scheme
In Yorkshire, our bike library isn’t just a metaphor. It’s a tangible space where individuals donate their unused bikes, and those eager to start their cycling journey can borrow or take them. By repurposing bicycles, we’re not only promoting sustainable living but also fostering a sense of community, sharing, and mutual support.
Expanding Horizons: The Online Platform
Recognizing the need to expand our reach and serve the global cycling community, our online platform was born. Here, you can:

- Empower through Knowledge: Beyond bikes, our platform serves as a repository of valuable cycling information. Whether you’re a beginner looking for tips or an expert seeking rare components, we have resources curated just for you.
- Connect and Collaborate: Learn how to set up your own local bike library scheme and join our mission to make cycling accessible for all.
