Broken Spoke Bike Co-op Information

The Broken Spoke is a multi-stakeholder cooperative in Oxford, UK. We’re a community-based social enterprise started by people who are really passionate about life on two wheels, and we provide open workshop support, mechanics courses, road safety training, women’s only mechanics nights, and a hub of information for cyclists. We partner with local community organisations, school groups, and individuals with the goal of making people more proficient and confident in bicycle maintenance and riding. We work with Oxford City Council to give Oxford's abandoned bike's a new lease of life for the benefit of the local community. We are also partnered with Crisis Skylight Oxford and have recently used abandoned bikes in order to provide free Build-a-Bike courses for Crisis clients who learn valuable skills and gain confidence through the process of rebuilding the bikes with the additional benefit of owning a bike at the end of the course.
