Everyone was friendly and welcoming, had a stroll around looking at the various bikes and was great to see the vast array of different types. A brilliant concept, thousands of bikes simply end up in the landfills , yet here they are brought back to useable condition, not only stopping excess waste but making biking accessible to many.
I was looking for a town bike, to get me out on a bike more, leaving the car behind for shorter journeys, however with the pandemic and rising costs, many bikes run into the hundreds, out pricing most people. I like that the bikes are affordable to the public without sacrificing quality.
The Raleigh was wheeled out and I was really impressed straight away, it looked brand new and was clearly restored well. Riding it, the brakes were very crisp and everything felt strong, no rattles etc. The wheels were very true and the bike just felt right. Wouldn’t have believed it was over 20 years old, I’ve had brand new bikes from larger chains which had a worse feel out the box (brakes rubbing, gear change issues etc) so a credit to Bike Project Surrey who clearly do the maintenance correctly.
What’s even better is the purchase price goes into the charity so you get a great bike and help fund further projects, win win. If you’re thinking about buying a bike from here or getting one serviced, I couldn’t recommend enough, I’ll be back
