Success Story: Brough Cycle Event
Our recent Brough Cycle Event is a strong example of how sponsorship directly supports community wellbeing and sustainable transport.
Event Outcomes:
64 bicycles repaired by our mobile mechanics, helping residents avoid high servicing costs.
20 local participants completed a basic cycle maintenance course, gaining essential mechanical skills and confidence.
A guided fitness ride introduced families to active travel in a safe, supported environment.
Participant Feedback:
" Taking bikes to a bike shop usually involves a big cost. It's nice to have something community-driven that you can donate to"
" Helped get the children's bikes ready for summer. I'm a lone parent (widow) with no idea about bikes and it's really helped the children."
" It has helped me understand my bike more and be more confident in fixing minor issues."
"Thank you so much for today, from start to finish, you were all so approachable and lovely. We went for a 10mile family bike ride with John and Tony with our two 10 year old boys and we all loved it. Thank you to Jon for being so motivational and somehow keeping an enthusiastic and positive conversation with the boys who never stopped talking the entire route, you deserve a medal for that alone and for Tony providing the stats and keeping us safe, you made what I thought would be an unachievable task seem easy & fun for them, they’re very proud of themselves as we are of them. Tony also fixed an issue with my gears, we are really grateful! Thank you!"
