Frome Community Bike Project came about after a team of volunteers began organising annual bike jumbles to raise funds for Frome’s Missing Links. After four years of jumbles and many hours of tinkering with bikes we realised that there was an appetite in Frome for recycling second hand bikes alongside a gap in support for cycling. We wanted to support people to cycle more and enjoy the great outdoors using bikes. In September 2022 we ran a successful Crowdfunding campaign to help launch the project. Although the Crowdfunder is no longer live, it tells the story of how Frome Community Bike Project came to be.
