Exciting times ahead for the Biosphere Bikes project.
We have taken a lease on the old Ayrshire Motorpart shop in Henrietta Street, Girvan.
This will allow us to expand capacity for what we currently do at the hub. The hub will continue to run April to October at the seafront location.
The hub is seasonal and operates April to October. Everything is outside so it is extremely weather dependent. A shop premises means that there will be all year round activity. It will give space for a workshop and more opportunity for volunteering and work experience.
The initial plan is to develop the front shop area to start selling refurbished bikes and bike related equipment. The bike library will also run from the new premises. As the project progresses we wil be looking at workshops and other activities.
Its all a wee bit scary as its a massive step for the project but there a bunch of amazing people and funders who are right behind us
Massive thanks to South Ayrshire Community Wealth Building and ARIA funding and the National Lottery Community Fund who have enabled the start of this new venture
Exciting times ahead. Watch this space and Facebook for updates.
