Simon Oldfield has been fixing bikes for 30 years and previously worked as a technician for Ellis Briggs in Shipley.
Today he is taking a look at a child’s purple bike with ribbons on the handlebars.
“I’m giving it a service, ready to go out,” he says.
“What happens if we get bicycles donated, we make sure everything’s safe – brakes are working, gears are working, and the tyres are pumped up and safe to ride.”
Oldfield is currently unemployed and says the scheme allows him to add more experience to his CV and give something back.
“I’m a keen bicycle rider so I know my bicycles,” he says.
“I thought, rather than being out of work doing nothing, I’ll put a bit back into it and hopefully try and boost cycling back in a different way, giving it new ideas.
“I thought this is a good place to start, seeing as I’m out of work, do a bit of volunteering, get it onto my CV.”
Robison says the volunteer scheme gives people something to do during the day – which is better for their mental health than sitting at home.
“And you’re giving something back to the community by repairing these things, recycling things, and then somebody goes off happy with the bike at the end of the day.”
