Re-Cycle has three aims:
Since Re~Cycle was formed, over 32,000 bikes plus spare parts have been sent to 10 African countries.
Maintenance of the bicycles in Africa is equally important and sending spares and tools is a vital part of our service.
We have also been able to help provide maintenance training and employment in Africa, as well as learning opportunities for young offenders and volunteers in the UK.
- Sending bicycles to Africa.
- Developing and training youth in the UK.
- Improving the environment through recycling and reuse.

Activities in Lesotho :
Bicycles used for getting to school, taking goods to market, etc.
Beyond Bikes is looking to do a national roll out over a 5-year period, with first satellite sites being established next year. The objective is to have a site in each of the major towns and at least one site in each district of Lesotho.
In October 2007 we delivered the first consignement of bicycles to Linking Lives for inclusion in a mixed container of goods being sent to The St John's Community in Ha Simone, Lesotho.
