First Step Bikes

Here at 1st Step Bikes we provide an effective environment for change! The simple activity of refurbishing donated bikes and servicing bikes provides our volunteers with a route to secure latent skills lost through years of addiction and/or struggling with poor mental health.1st Step Bikes Builds Bikes & Builds Confidence!We host a tested referral system via our many partners and provide self-referral for those simply looking to volunteer, befriending others while learning to repair bikes.

After an introductory visit to one of our two workshops we prepare you for our OUTREACH Course which lasts four or five sessions. Normally one half-day spread over 4-5 weeks. Here we will train you in basic bike mechanics, working on a bike which, on completion of the course, it’s yours to keep!Once you have completed the course you can volunteer with us at the workshops and start helping refurbishing bikes with the team!There are opportunities to add to your bike mechanics skills by undertaking Velotech Bike Technicians bronze or silver certification.
