Offered: Bike workshop project business partner

Hi all,

I'm in the process of setting up a community based bicycle workshop project similar to the Bikeworks and Bristol Bike Projects. The aim is to setup the workshop as a Community Interest Company, focusing on helping disadvantaged young people develop skills and to generally get people on two wheels cheaply.

The chosen location for the project is within Tottenham around the area of the Lordship Recreation Ground and White Heart Lane. The area is seriously deprived and hopefully this project can help some of it's more effected members. Currently Homes for Harringey are really pushing to develop social enterprises within the area, opening up a number of opportunities for project spaces and potential funding.

I'm looking for someone with an interest in community projects and a good level of competency in bike repair that can help me with the setup and running of the project. If you are interested please drop me a pm as i'd like to discuss things further.

Hey there Booblay!
How is the project coming along? Did the same thing working with kids into the fitness industry and getting them working in gyms. I'm working in bike shops now but very interested in how you're getting along. I live in Finsbury Park too so a local.
