upCYCLE is a Brixton based organisation that provides refurbished bikes and bike maintenance classes to young people in South London.
They’ve now announced their free Summer Mentor Programme. If you’re aged between 16-18 years old, we’re giving you the chance to gain experience from industry professionals, earn qualifications and get a refurbished bike!
You’ll be matched with a mentor and meet on a weekly basis to discuss your goals and aspirations, then you’ll take part in various workshops, run by industry experts, covering bike repair to physiotherapy.
It isn’t all work though, you’ll also get a chance to try out Track Cycling, BMX and Mountain Biking, and we will help you build up your fitness on the bike so that you can take part in the Brixton to Brighton ride at the end of the Summer.
