PEOPLE can get their hands on a bargain bike thanks to a local voluntary group.

Lichfield Re:Cycled sees bicycles donated to the Curborough Community Centre organisation given a makeover before being made available on a free long-term loan.

But the group’s volunteers are now offering some for sale.

A spokesperson said:

> “Our model has always been to give local people access to a free bike on loan. We find the right bike to suit their size, their confidence and what they would use the bike for.  
>  
> “When they have finished with the bike, we ask them to simply return it to us. We take referrals and requests and operate a waiting list.  
>  
> “But at the moment we have a surplus of completed bikes so we will be offering some for sale for a donation of between £10 and £60 – or higher if it is a more valuable bike.”

People interested in a loan bike or one of the models for sale can email [lichfieldrecycleproject@gmail.com](mailto:lichfieldrecycleproject@gmail.com).

The group is also on the lookout for new volunteers to join the group, which meets on Wednesday mornings at the centre to refurbish and service donated bicycles at a purpose-built workshop.

The spokesperson added:

> “New volunteers are welcome if they might be able to join us on a Wednesday morning – and there is the opportunity to work on bikes from home.
