Restoring bikes - rebuilding futures ...on Bute
Positive Pedals began in 2023 as a community training initiative, working with a group of New Scots to learn bicycle repair and maintenance skills.
We have continued this work to support members of our local community in gaining experience and developing employability skills while building a social enterprise focused on reducing and repurposing bicycle waste.
Our unique approach enables us to help our community access affordable bicycles, promoting active play and travel.
