  • what do i need to do/bring?
    You'll need your bike, as were going to put you on our turbo trainer. You'll also need to wear your usual cycling clothes. You'll be cycling on the turbo trainer to so a drink is recommended.
  • How does the bike fitting process work?
    We start by placing your bike on our turbo trainer and getting you to cycle stationary. We'll take a 'before' photo of your position using your camera phone. After asking you some questions, we'll make necessary adjustments. Once we believe the issues are resolved, we'll take an 'after' photo for comparison. This helps us ensure that the adjustments have improved your cycling posture and comfort.
  • Can I bring a friend?
    Of course, in fact we encourage it, they can take the before and after photos
  • How long does a bike fitting appointment take?
    A bike fitting appointment lasts for 1 hour. During this time, you'll be on your bike for approximately 20 minutes. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like about your fit during the session.
  • Who can benefit from a bike fit?
    A bike fit is suitable for everyone and can significantly improve your cycling experience. If you experience saddle sores, sore knees, sore ankles, tight neck, tight shoulders, lower back pain, wrist soreness, pins and needles, or tight hamstrings, a bike fit can help alleviate these issues. Additionally, it can enhance your efficiency and performance on the bike.
  • What about trading in?
    We offer a trade in service. We would need to see the bicycle you would like to trade in first to give you a trade in value. Please contact us regarding trading in.
  • How can I donate a bike to CycleRecycle?
    Donating a bike to CycleRecycle is simple. Just bring your bike to our Kessingland shop during opening hours. No appointment is necessary. For each complete bike you donate, you'll receive a £5 CycleRecycle voucher as a token of our appreciation.
  • Do you send my donation to the third world?
    Whilst we agree wholeheartedly with the concept of sending unwanted bicycles to the third world, there are many charity's that do this already. Our concern is that when a bicycle breaks down in the third world, there is invariably less likelihood of it being fixed, or indeed recycled. We are determined to keep bikes and parts out of landfill, here in the UK and globally. Sending bikes overseas can mean that bikes end up into foreign landfill, and the carbon footprint that comes from shipping bikes mean this is something that CycleRecycle wouldn't want to contribute too.
  • Why should I recycle my bike?
    We promote keeping bicycles out of landfill. Bicycles by their nature are very difficult to recycle as they have different grades and types of metal used in their construction. They also have rubber tyres and inner tubes. the contact points can be made from various different types of plastics. The whole thing is a headache for the recycling centres so they tend to throw them into general waste (or land fill as it is better known). We take the bike and strip it down. We are yet to come across the bike that doesn't have some salvageable parts. We clean and service the parts and restore them to their former condition. More importantly, your donation will make a positive change in someones life. It could help someone find and keep a job, help a child get to school or help someone get fitter and healthier.
