Preston Pedals is started out as a Climate Action Preston project but it has now become a separate organisation.

There are three main elements:

• Bike repair and maintenance – Experienced bike mechanics and trainers working together with volunteers repairing and servicing donated/second-hand bikes.

• Support to ride – Confidence building of beginners and non-regular cyclists through learn to ride sessions and led rides.

• Developing cycling culture –Promoting a culture of everyday cycling in Preston for proven benefits for health and well-being, as well as tackling climate change. Friends of the Earth estimated as little as 2% of journeys in Preston are by bike, which means there’s a long way to go before we reach the national target of half of all urban journeys being walked or cycled by 2030.
