The Bike Project refurbishes secondhand bicycles and donates them to refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. Since 2013, it has provided bikes to more than 14,000 individuals, helping them access essential services and connect with their communities. Based in London, England, it operates within the civic and social organizations sector and runs engagement programs such as Pedal Power, free cycling lessons for refugee women led by refugee women, and Bike Buddies, a befriending scheme. The primary beneficiaries are refugees and asylum seekers across the UK who gain increased mobility to access healthcare, legal support, and other services, while integrating into local networks. The organization collaborates with partners and supporters to extend its reach; a notable recent development is a 2023 partnership with Oporto Sports Ltd.
