This year’s World Mental Health Day on 10th October 2021 asked people the world over to share ways we are making mental health a reality for all.
6 cycling resources to keep you rolling
A lot of us have been working from home for too long and some of us are getting dizzy within our 5km bubbles. To keep you enthused and riding, we wanted to share some of our favourite cycling-related resources. We’ve included ones that get the most out of your 5km bubble, show you how to repair your bike at home (or fix up a hard rubbish find), plan for future rides and some adventure dreaming. The act of cycling is only part of the adventure after all!
Social impact at Good Cycles
As supporters of Good Cycles, we want to share with you the difference you help make and why it matters in the current environment.
The way we respond to hard times defines our community. With the help of all our supporters, Good Cycles has increased access to entry-level jobs for young people.
How to carry more on your bike rather than your back
Sick of lugging a backpack on your bike? Or do you find yourself stopping at the shops on the way home and wish you had some extra capacity? There are solutions for almost all bikes to help you carry more gear on your bike.
How meaningful employment unlocks opportunities
Flexible and inclusive workplaces make it possible for young employees to engage in both work and further study. For people such as Omer, employment at Good Cycles serves to be an incubator rather than an obstacle in a young person’s pursuit of their career ambitions and aspirations.
Bike fit – making your bike more comfortable
Small adjustments in how your bike fits can have a big impact on your comfort and enjoyment riding.

Gaining employment and building experience is a rite of passage for young people. It has always posed challenges but some of these are now tougher than they were.
