When we do stakeholder reports and user surveys @SpokeSafe, one of the questions is around split between male and female.
We are normally 60/40. And the age demographic skews older than you would think.
E-bikes IMO playing a huge levelling role.

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

A very happy and excited girl collected her free bike today from the #NewportCycleHub thanks to our hard working team of refugee bike repair volunteers. Thank you all who fundraise, donate bikes or are Newport @SpokeSafe customers, your support makes this possible !
Spokesafe retweeted
We encourage our participants to get involved, to use their skills for the community. 3 of the bike volunteers have spent today constructing shelves at our community bike repair shop #NewportCycleHub underneath @SpokeSafe in a brave attempt to keep our spare bike parts organised!

I am glad you do, too. I can't always get out on my scooter, it can sometimes be weeks and the ability to ride into the City and park it safely is a great comfort. Thankyou.

Every year at the #NewportCycleHub we fix and give away 200 bikes - thats now 1500 bikes given away over the last 7 years. Those we can't fix, we strip for reusable parts. Tyres, tubes and metal all recycled - moved with our e-cargo bike - which is available for hire @SpokeSafe

My volunteers at #NewportCycleHub underneath @SpokeSafe in Newport have set up this workstation - a table found in the street, and an old table tennis table drilled and cable tied. Reusing is in the heart of the project which refurbs bikes as a wellbeing project for refugee men

Most Dutch story of the day:
When Jo Goossens was 13, her parents bought her a new bike to ride to school.
Sheโs now 82 and still riding the same bike. โI only buy something new if itโs necessaryโ, she says.

INCREDIBLY EXCITING PARKING TWEET
The new @SpokeSafe cycle parking by the Moor Market and it's dead easy to get in, lots of space between Sheffield stands and is right by the door so no trek through the car park.

7 volunteers fixed 8 donated bikes today at the #NewportCycleHub underneath @spokesafe Newport, ready to give away on Thursday - and stripping parts from irrepairable bikes for reuse. All metal, tyres and tubes are recycled, with just plastic going to landfill.
