About Life Cycle

Since 1999, we’ve been guided by our mission to transform lives and the environment through cycling. We work with people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, at every stage of their cycling journey: from learning to ride, to building a career in the cycling industry.

Our bike workshops (Hubs) are based in Bristol and Derby, we’ve also run projects across the West of England, Derbyshire, and Swindon. As a charity, our work is guided by a team of dedicated volunteer Trustees. With their support, we’ve been able to grow and transform thousands of lives.
