Hi there kind folks of East Dulwich. Thank you all for your bike donations, the bikes are now in full working order and have been donated to the various Schools in the area.

EDSNUB have been awarded a grant from the Cooperative community fund to extend the project, so I am now again asking for more bikes, so please if you have any old unwanted, unused bikes, which are not beyond repair, please take it along to BC Bikes on the East Dulwich Road. Then lovely Alex and Richard will repair them, ready to donate them.

EDSNUB have also been awarded money by Grassroots grants, delivered by the community Development foundation, to fund a growing project at the East Dulwich Community Center on Darrel Road.

If you are interested in what EDSNUB are getting up to these days, please look at our website

Hi All

Just wanted to update you on the EDSNUB bikes projects. We have just been awarded funding from the London Cycling campaign http://lcc.org.uk/ to expand the bikes for Schools project into the community. Currently with the support of the local police, Southwark Cycling officer Roger Stocker and Local lib Dem councillor James Barber. Instructors Stewart and Deke from Revolution Cycling, http://www.revolutionscycling.co.uk will work with local young teenagers and their parents to EDUCATE them in cycle maintenance.These trainees will learn while REFURBISHING donated and unclaimed bikes from the local police stations. A number of the bikes will be sold to the public at affordable prices and the money re invested in our projects.

We have to date donated over 30 bikes to the local schools, and each school are currently learning how to maintain the their bikes, in the EDSNUB sponsored bike maintenance class.

Thanks for all your ongoing support and hopefully we will see more East Dulwichites on their bikes.:)-D
